The MESH Diversity Intelligence platform evaluates the Diversity Intelligence™ of individuals, teams and organizations through unique and proprietary algorithms based on extensive research in behavioral science and DEI. The foundational enhancements in this project will create a proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) and an orchestration engine that will connect the cultural metrics that the MESH platform collects with the extensive Mesh content library, the only DEI specific LLM of its kind in the world. The second portion of the project will leverage the LLMs and the orchestration engine to create a new module in the Mesh platform to auto-generate job interview questions based on the cultural metrics of the hiring organization.

Design and programming of a standardized quality control module to evaluate the quality of commercial housekeeping operations.

This C to O is being proposed because of a recommendation from the EDI team and an acknowledged need for training and education for Women Founders of IRAP eligible companies. The program's goal is to close the funding gap for women innovators.
Specifically this program will target firms who have raised seed funds and have a goal to raise Series A funds. The anticipated benefit is the 12 to 15 firms access funding and to have at least one firm raise $3 to $5 million in funding. Anticipated risk is low as the firm providing the program has already successfully delivered the program and is ready to deliver to this cohort.

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.
