Alberta Innovates into CarE (AICE) Concepts Program

Health care expenditures in Alberta are increasingly unsustainable with approximately 40% of the provincial budget consumed annually. Alberta needs to harness the power of emerging health opportunities and innovations to deliver more effective, efficient and sustainable patient-centered care.

The AICE-Concepts Program expands Alberta Innovates’ AICE-validate, AICE-market access, and Implement.digH offerings to accelerate health innovations in Alberta.

What is the program?
The  Accelerating Innovations into CarE (AICE) – Concepts Program is designed to enable and accelerate early-stage innovators along the commercialization client journey from ideating to conceptualizing across four domains of commercialization (i.e., product-market fit, business readiness, regulatory compliance, and product development).
