The company has three main facilities located in Edmonton: the Biorefining Conversions Network Facility (BCNF), the Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory (ATL) and the Industrial Material Institute - Edmonton Research Centre(IMI-ERC). These facilities are equipped with cutting-edge technologies such as high-throughput screening systems for drug discovery; bioreactors for biofuels production; analytical instruments for environmental monitoring; pilot plants for chemical processing; clean rooms for nanotechnology fabrication; greenhouses for plant breeding; animal care facilities for preclinical studies.

In addition to these core facilities Innotech also has satellite offices across the province which provide specialized services such as crop breeding at Brooks Crop Diversification Centre or water treatment at Vegreville Water Quality Centre.

One of Innotech's key strengths is its ability to collaborate with other organizations both locally and internationally. The company has partnerships with universities like University of Calgary or University of Alberta , government agencies like Natural Resources Canada or Agriculture Canada , industry associations like Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada(PTAC) or Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute(CAPI) , non-profit organizations like BioAlberta or Clean Energy Canada and many more. These collaborations allow Innotech to leverage its expertise and resources to address complex challenges and opportunities in various sectors.

Innotech Alberta's impact can be seen in the numerous success stories of its clients. For example, a local startup called CarbonCure Technologies which developed a technology that injects carbon dioxide into concrete to make it stronger and more sustainable, received support from Innotech Alberta through testing & analysis services at BCNF. This helped the company validate its technology and attract investment from major players like Amazon or Microsoft. Another example is a research project led by University of Calgary with support from Innotech Alberta which developed a new method for producing biofuels from forestry residues using IMI-ERC's pilot plant. This project has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels with renewable fuels.
