2024 Vista Award – Christopher Micetich,

This award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions in the form of technical innovation, business excellence, talent development, capital attraction or infrastructure development.

“Alberta’s greatest source of innovation lies within the walls of our post secondary institutions. Innovation Masterminds, a pre-accelerator program developed in partnership with the University of Alberta, was created to connect accomplished business leaders with emerging innovators, providing mentorship to help transform bold ideas into reality. We are incredible proud of the program’s success and significant economic impact it has generated across the province. None of this would have been possible without the countless volunteer hours contributed by the Brass Dome Ventures Ltd. team and the many key industry thought leaders.”
