Grants and Contributions

This project will provide specialized nanofabrication services to qualified SME clients that will include the following: maskless photolithography, 100kV electron- beam lithography, photonic wire-bonding and a range of plasma processes for thin film deposition and etching, within cleanroom lab space capabilities.

This project seeks to develop and launch a range of new Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) food products for the Canadian and US markets, specifically focusing on innovative cookie formulations, coffee and cocktail syrups, and fruit spreads. The goal is to integrate advanced technical work and scientific insights to create products that stand out in a competitive market and meet evolving consumer preferences.

Battery Cells need to be tested and validated before being installed into a battery pack. Electrical End of Line Testing includes, OCV, IV, DCIR, ACIR, and EIS tests. While the testing is well studied in laboratory settings, there is high technical uncertainty on it's application to high volume automotive production systems. The intent of this project is to establish the baseline parameters for cycle time, contact pressure, electrical noise, and accuracy required to meet specifications. From that information, the high volume production system can be designed and manufactured.

RFINE Biomass Solutions Inc. is developing the KAFFIKA technology to efficiently process spent coffee grounds (SCG). This project aims to process 100 kg of SCG in 15 hours, advancing the technology from TRL 2 to TRL 6. Key activities include redesigning the core processing technology, producing and validating prototypes, and integrating the system for commercial readiness. Testing will be conducted by the RFINE engineering at BioFoodTech and in-store pilot locations, ensuring the technology meets operational and environmental standards for scalable deployment.

Racer Machinery International Inc. is taking steps to modernize its marketing and sales process after directly engaging with its customers to seeking feedback to improve or products and services delivery.
