Innovation Sask. announces investment for rural water facilities

Jan 05, 2023

The Government of Saskatchewan announced that it is investing over $1.9 million in 10 industry-led research and development projects through the Saskatchewan Advantage Innovation Fund (SAIF) and Agtech Growth Fund (AGF).

SAIF supports entrepreneurs creating new products in the province’s core economic sectors, while the AGF operates in parallel in support of those creating new agricultural technologies.  

"Our industries are innovating aggressively to create jobs and drive economic growth," said Jeremy Harrison, the Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan.

 "The Government of Saskatchewan will continue to support these cutting-edge innovations by investing strategically through programs like SAIF and the AGF."

One of the projects being announced is led by Saskatoon-based Delco Water. The company is working with a number of rural municipalities and First Nations, including the Meadow Lake Tribal Council, to develop and pilot remote sensing technologies for water treatment facilities in rural Saskatchewan.
