Supporting entrepreneurs and innovators in our community.
About Regional Innovation Networks (RIN)
Regional Innovation Network (RIN) are community-based networks of entrepreneur-focused
organizations that provide programs and services that aim to accelerate the growth of
technology and knowledge based businesses in their region.
There are currently eight RINs in Alberta, including Wood Buffalo Regional Innovation Network
(WBRIN). RINs are funded by the Government of Alberta, and administered by Alberta
Innovates.
About Wood Buffalo Regional Innovation Network (WBRIN)
The WBRIN supports initiatives, programs, services and events that strengthen the
entrepreneurial and innovation community in the Wood Buffalo region.
Our purpose is to increase and capture innovation on the front lines, attract technologies and
talent to our community, and inspire a whole new generation of entrepreneurs across Fort
McMurray and the entire Wood Buffalo region.
The WBRIN is not an organization; it is a network. The organizing body is made up of six
organizations, who occupy the roles of co-chairs and a steering committee.
