The University of Calgary announced in 2010 the creation of a dedicated university-based incubator to provide working space and laboratory access for university spin-offs. 
The resulting [[Business incubator|incubator]], known as Innovate Calgary, is based out of the 170,000-square-foot Alastair Ross Technology Centre located within the innovation research park. The research park is adjacent to the primary main campus and is open to any university-linked entrepreneurs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ucalgary.ca/research/research-units/innovate-calgary|title=Innovate Calgary &#124; Research &#124; University of Calgary|website=www.ucalgary.ca}}</ref>

Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund (OCIF) donated over $8.5M to help provide programs and support for university linked startups. In addition to providing startup programs and services, Innovate Calgary also operates as the tech transfer office for the university by providing Intellectual property (IP) support and services. Innovate Calgary has an informal partnership with [[Creative Destruction Lab]] (CDL) to identify and support regional startups with demonstrated potential.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://innovatecalgary.com/|title=Home – Innovate Calgary|first=Argyle Fox|last=Inc|website=- Innovate Calgary}}</ref>
