2011-2016 – the CRI future?
CRI will continue but at what level remains uncertain;
Support from PREDA and IRAP remains strong; RADF funds extended; no replacement in sight.
Innovation: Provincial Government will fund as the NWAB node for its Regional Innovation Network; industry support, innovation clients, innovation voucher services all continue to mature.
Applied Research: requested Federal $ for P2P research program (5-years), industry partnerships mature; GPRC partnership with AAFC-Beaverlodge for AR matures
