The Alberta Credentials Ecosystem (ACE) is a collaboration to create the world’s first truly decentralized, multi-sector digital credential ecosystem right here in Alberta.  

We're a mix of financial services, telecommunications, post-secondary, government, insurance and decentralised identity service providers; and together, we have all the ingredients needed to transform digital services and create new value for citizens and organizations of every size and shape across the province.  

Delivering value. Fast. 

We're committed to helping organizations across the province understand and pilot decentralized identity solutions to position Alberta at the cutting edge of digital innovation.

A community of trailblazers

Join a community of organizations from different sectors, working together to explore a range of use cases.


Early-access to leading tools

Practical & experiential learning

Rapidly prototype and iterate a tailored solution, with hands-on expert technical, regulatory, and business help. 


A focus on real-world use cases 

By organizing around specific citizen use cases, we are able to understand the customer experience and business and regulatory impacts, while developing real technical solutions. And by working with public, private, and non-profit institutions, we are able to develop real citizen journeys that cross sectors and industries in ways that simply aren’t possible today.
