ogy is applicable in any market and will soon
be a major player on a global scale. “Everyone
talks about working outside the box, most of
them only run to the corners. Very few people
leave the box,” Dr. Montemagno said. At Inge-
nuity Lab, he and his dedicated team are work-
ing hard to provide innovative solutions to the
world’s looming issues.
Future endeavours: a look ahead
Ingenuity Lab is a huge economic driver for not
only the Province of Alberta, but for all of Can-
ada. Ingenuity Lab also helps the global econ-
omy. “Every dollar generated from Alberta oil
yields $8 more in the energy sector globally,”
Dr. Montemagno said. Ingenuity Lab is current-
ly partnered with the University of Alberta, the
National Institute of Nanotechnology, the Prov-
ince of Alberta and many other reputable or-
ganizations. However, they are always looking
for new committed partners and in the near
future Ingenuity Lab hopes to establish long-
term strategic partnerships across a range of
industries.
“I’m a firm believer that tomorrow can be
better than yesterday,” Dr. Montemagno said.
He and the Ingenuity Lab team are changing
the world, one molecule at a time. Their pio-
neering discoveries create abundant possibili-
ties for the future and Ingenuity Lab will not
only strengthen the economy of Canada, but it
will provide the country with sustainable solu-
tions.
