Kevin Dahl, Director, ElevateIP at Innovate Calgary. The Community Builder

Between Meetings

In a recent Between Meetings episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kevin Dahl, Director of ElevateIP at Innovate Calgary. Our conversation dove into his professional journey, explored the early days of Calgary's innovation ecosystem, highlighted his impactful stint at Plug and Play, and delved into his current role at Innovate Calgary.

Takeaways:

• I am always in the corner of the underdog.
• Fifteen years ago, innovation was just this little shiny object over to the side.
• Becoming a startup founder is not just cool; it is actually viable now.
• Energy OR innovation, agriculture OR innovation. To me, 'OR' is simply rooted in fallacy. It should be an 'AND' conversation.

Kevin Dahl has expertise in several industries including mobile payments, hospitality tech, telecommunications, music, and tech incubation. He is a geek at heart. Kevin loves technology and he is fascinated by its impact on society.
