Government of Alberta News Release For Immediate Release October 21, 1999 "The appointment of the Information and Communications Technology committees marks the beginning of an exciting new initiative in which the government and industry will work closely together to strengthen our technological infrastructure, and build an economic sector that will help this province succeed in the new global economy." Dr. Lorne Taylor Minister, Innovation and Science Technology leaders to work with government to strengthen information and communications technology sector EDMONTON -- Individuals from some of Alberta's leading information and communications technology organizations are partnering with the government to help the province's technology sector grow to a $30 billion a year industry by 2010. Minister of Innovation and Science Lorne Taylor announced October 21 the appointment of a number of technology and business leaders to three committees that will oversee and advise the government on the implementation of strategies outlined in a provincial Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Strategy. Implementation of the strategy, presented to the government by the Alberta Science and Research Authority (ASRA) in October 1998, is one of the key responsibilities assigned to the department by Premier Ralph Klein when he created the department of Innovation and Science in May 1999. The ICT strategy, which was developed in consultation with business, industry, universities and government departments, is aimed at growing Alberta's ICT sector to a $30 billion a year industry by 2010. The ICT industries and businesses in the province currently generate about $8 billion a year. Another goal of the strategy is to increase the number of jobs in the sector by 35,000 by the province's centennial in 2005. -
