Tecterra's vision is to develop intelligent, integrated resource management tools to observe, monitor, forecast and manage Alberta's land and natural resources. The Centre will build a substantial, sustainable geomatics-based ICT capability in Alberta and Canada. Tecterra will be involved in four activities critical to the advancement of integrated resource management: education and training; R&D; pre-commercialization of R&D, and partnering with and providing services to industry. The Centre will go well beyond traditional R&D, ensuring real potential for geomatics commercialization by confirming industry needs up-front, taking a collaborative approach and clearing paths toward deployment.
