Connectica archive, 2020 to 2024

Archived programs →

Before it was a publication, Connectica was Alberta's innovation directory — maintained by Alberta Innovates from 2020 through 2024. That directory's programs and organizations are preserved verbatim at their original addresses.

The archive holds 10 restored program pages and 7 restored organization profiles (with more being restored continuously), each with its original wording and a Wayback Machine citation. Start from the archived programs index or the archived organizations index.

Archived pages are historical documents reproduced as published — not affiliated with or endorsed by Alberta Innovates or the Government of Alberta.
