Atmose Ltd. is an Edmonton-based startup developing high-accuracy and affordable aerosol technologies for monitoring air quality. Their novel charging discoveries allow for the principles of laboratory instruments to be incorporated into a miniaturized, low-cost, and accessible form, thus overcoming critical challenges in multiple markets. Building upon Atmose’s significant development of this patent-pending technology (current alpha prototype at TRL 6), the proposed project will overcome the remaining technical challenges to prepare the sensor for customer trials and sales (TRL 7 to 9). The project will develop a manufacturing process to optimize its scalability, complete a beta design iteration and manufacture a beta prototype.

This proposed CTO contribution will give some innovation focused Canadian SME's access to construction industry experts and influencers, that can serve as both a potential target customer segment, and that can provide active feedback for further innovation.  Additionally, Canadian construction firms can benefit by exposure to new technologies that may impact increases in profitability, better efficiency, greater safety and many other areas for potential innovation.

GN’s rapid planter is strongly aligned with global sustainability, emissions reduction, and renewable mandates. In a recent Deloitte assessment, reforestation was identified as a primary source for emissions management and estimated over $1 Trillion in spending is necessary to help achieve 2050 outcomes. Solutions like GN's reforestation technology are well positioned to participate in this massive growth industry. This project is focused on the commercialization of GN's mechanical tree planting unit (Rapid Planter), which aims to create long-term, well-paying jobs that help empower positive environmental outcomes. Commercialization will be in collaboration with the University of Calgary, Red Deer Polytechnic, and stakeholders in Australia
