Calgary Innovate Council

The Calgary Innovate Council shall be comprised of 25 Charter Members, with representation from within the City of Calgary, surrounding communities, local companies, and community organizations. 

The Calgary Innovate Council shall meet quarterly over lunch in 2026 and 2027 for Roundtable Discussions, networking, and formal recognition of community innovators!

We ask that Charter members commit for two years to ensure consistency in leadership, sustained collaboration, and stable participation that builds trust, captures multi-year learning, and supports long-term initiatives that advance Calgary’s public-sector innovation agenda and deliver measurable impact for the Calgary Innovation Council Canada.

Each Charter Member of the Calgary Innovate Council will receive an Innovate Challenge Chip that will be used to formally recognize a person, company, community organization, or a government department that has employed innovation for the betterment of the community.

Following the standards established by the Charter Members in Calgary, each member will seek out worthy recipients of the Innovate Challenge Chip for recognition.  Over the next two years, collectively our Charter Members will have recognized and rewarded as many as 25 individuals or organizations in Calgary, Alberta, and Canada.

Charter members of the Calgary Innovate Council will also become at-large members of the Innovate Council Canada, with access to national activities.
