Grants and Contributions

This project will demonstrate biomanufacturing process for producing high-value bioactive compounds using engineered yeast strains processed through existing fermentation infrastructure.

Continued development of an AI / Computer Vision powered video intelligence technology analyzing long-form video content and identifying best moments for short-form sharing and distribution.

The project is a SaaS educational management platform that integrates artificial intelligence modules.

This project builds dual-use maritime sensor and data infrastructure supporting Canadian sovereignty and defence readiness, applicable to commercial shipping and ports. It expands data capture — automatic identification system (AIS), radar, vessel dynamics, environmental observations — with reliable ingestion, validation and access at scale across Canadian waters including the Arctic. The platform enables secure access, monitoring and shared visibility enriched with environmental context and early-warning indicators: signal degradation, dark/ghost vessels and anomalous behaviour. The result is Canadian-built surveillance strengthening domain awareness in data-sparse regions, aligned with Canada's marine sensors sovereign capability and Defence Industrial Strategy.

Develop, test, and validate an optimized drying process for painted parts. This project aims to integrate accelerated drying technologies for high-temperature coatings. The tests will focus on prototypes of technological drying equipment.

The project aims to develop advanced technology for measuring and testing drone propulsion, capable of capturing forces and moments across six axes.

This project aims to expand access to objective movement screening, assessments, and monitoring through advanced analytics for common postures & movements like posture, squat and gait through a mobile-first approach, focusing on underserved populations. The outcomes will be a bilingual motion-analysis platform that works with any camera, enabling use cases for health & performance optimization as well as identifying movement abnormalities to deliver reliable capture, inclusive user experience, and simple deployment to provide more equitable assessments at scale.

The youth will support Ostia’s translational research and clinical development programs for S. salivarius SALI-10®, a next-generation oral probiotic producing novel phosphorylated lantibiotics. This work will contribute to a key clinical trial evaluating SALI-10’s ability to reduce gingivitis and prevent dysbiosis in otherwise healthy individuals. This work also underpins Ostia’s regulatory filings with Health Canada (NHP, Class III NPN) and the US FDA GRAS pathway, advancing the company’s commercialization strategy.

Breton is developing AI automation for Fundraiz, a secure online fundraising platform for charities, schools, and non-profits. The project focuses on using artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate client onboarding and lottery setup workflows.

This Market Diversification Action Plan (MDAP) project will prepare the firm to enter into future international work in Australia.
