Grants and Contributions

Preliminary design and development of an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) capable of launching and recovering unmanned underwater vessels (UUVs).

Optimization of the technical support process.

Beaufort Solutions will hire a recent graduate to facilitate the development of a social media marketing campaign to drive awareness to the technical project called Cyber Defense Fusion Platform.

Bradley Engineering will develop a web-based inspection portal that allows infrastructure owners to view and analyze large 3D models and related inspection data. The project will advance methods for streaming massive 3D datasets, visualizing AI-assisted defect detection, and supporting collaboration between stakeholders. The resulting platform is intended to improve asset condition assessment, safety, and long-term management, while supporting the development of Canadian-owned intellectual property and skilled jobs in Canada.

This project advances a new, physics-based flood-modelling capability that quantitatively evaluates the real-world performance of existing and planned green infrastructure as a climate adaptation solution. NOAH's HydroSim engine introduces a novel large-area hydraulic modelling approach by integrating high-resolution computational datasets, two-dimensional surface flow modelling, one-dimensional urban drainage hydraulics, and property-level reporting. This integrated framework reveals flood hazards at spatial resolutions previously unavailable, enabling rigorous assessment of how green infrastructure installations reduce surface flood risk under climate-driven extreme weather conditions and supporting evidence-based validation.

Verdyn is developing a modular, multi-port solid-state power conversion platform that reduces redundant conversion and isolation stages while enabling DC fast charging with integrated battery energy storage. The architecture supports higher renewable utilization, smaller footprint, and faster deployment of EV infrastructure at sites constrained by grid capacity and space.

This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The DAC uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate.

The DAC’s mandate is to promote development cooperation quantity and quality and monitor and analyse development finance flows to improve sustainable development. The DAC reviews and provides guidance on development cooperation policies, promotes sharing of good practices, helps shape the global development architecture, sets high standards for development cooperation, and maintain and ensure the accountability of its members.

January 2026 — Weeks of intense rainfall have triggered severe and historically significant flooding across southern and central Mozambique, affecting an estimated 700,000 people. Entire communities have been displaced, food crops have been lost, and essential public infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

With funding from Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Red Cross will support the efforts of the Mozambique Red Cross to provide emergency shelter and basic household items, safe water and sanitation, and protection assistance to flood-affected communities. Project activities include: (1) providing shelter and non-food items, (2) improving access to safe water and sanitation, and (3) supporting protection services for vulnerable community members.
