A presentation at the opening of the Wave Tech Centre on Monday. The space includes things like 3D printers and a virtual reality immersion room.
Located in a renovated ground floor space in the city-owned Andrew Davison building downtown, the city says the Wave Tech Centre will allow various city departments and local businesses to incorporate technology into their ideas on how to deliver public services better or more cheaply. The City of Calgary opened a new centre for technological innovation on Monday that came with a price tag of $8.2 million.
To date, $4 million has been invested in the project, with the remainder of the costs expected to be wrapped up by 2026, according to city officials. The city's chief IT officer, Jan Bradley, said she hopes the centre will help facilitate new ways to save time or money. Users will also have access to other emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum infrastructure, the Internet of things, cloud computing and other software, said a City of Calgary statement.
