A FORWARD- LOOKING MODEL
AEC does not invest directly in Alberta companies, but in VC funds that have a track record of success, strong global networks and a demonstrated commitment to the Province of Alberta.
This model supports entrepreneurs with funding in the crucial early development stages – and sets them up to thrive.
Unlike a direct investment model, the fund model leverages our capital, creating access to a bigger pool of investment dollars for companies, which multiplies and maximizes our investments. The funds add further value by providing access to markets, mentors and management expertise for Alberta companies.
We focus our investments toward key growth areas that diversify our economy, alongside many fields where Alberta has a history of excellence:

Our investment model is unique as it generates economic development in Alberta while also creating long-term financial returns for the Province on its original investment.
