Grants and Contributions

Provide a recent Bachelor of Science graduate with a career development opportunity in Product Management role.

Lodestar will address the unresolved gaps in the "complete building" solution that have emerged during the commercialization stage. Effort will include an in-depth, comprehensive assessment to evaluate adoption potential, identify challenges, develop and optimize feasible solutions, and guide strategic decision-making and market positioning.

ChocoSol proposes to hire a recent graduate as a Marketing & E-Commerce Associate. In this role it is critical to implementing a transformative digital strategy in collaboration with TradeTools, a leading Toronto marketing consultancy, and integrating third-party logistics (3PL) with eShipper. The project aims to enhance ChocoSol's online presence, optimize customer journeys, streamline fulfillment processes, and align in-person and digital brand experiences, ultimately contributing to the company's growth and mission.

During the project, Clinisys intends to integrate and test mature Generative AI tools such as scribe via API integration to AI-enable the firm's flagship product – Clinisys EMR. The firm will develop AI scribe specific interfaces that would allow relevant voice data through this interface to be transcribed using AI into text. The intended users will be physicians and clinicians using the system that would allow recording of patient interviews and population of relevant patient encounter fields from within Clinisys EMR interface. This will shorten the time of encounter where currently either the physicians must type the notes or use pre-configured patient encounter templates.

As part of the international consortium project "BioPlasticAccel", the Firm will develop yeast strains and fermentation methods for productino of key industrial chemicals, for use as renewable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. Sustainable bioplastics may be used for packaging, personal care, and consumer goods.

The project will develop an MVP open B2B platform that will enable small ISPs to offer emerging services beyond basic connectivity. The platform integrates affordable Operational and Billing Support Systems with advanced security and trust infrastructure, allowing independents to deliver a suite of services including healthcare monitoring, elder protection, and smart home services typically reserved for large carriers. The MVP will begin with a demo on how integrated spectrum management, smart gateways, and unified business systems can enable small ISPs to compete through service innovation.

As part of the international consortium project “UK Multisector – BioM - LV Production Kit: Development of GMP lentiviral production kit with optimized upstream and downstream processes” this project will develop an end-to-end and off-the-shelf GMP enabled lentivirus manufacturing kit. The current standard in lentivirus manufacturing is inefficient and delivers low yields, leading to elevated manufacturing costs and less accessible therapeutics. This kit will be the first of its kind, integrating innovative upstream and downstream technologies that have been demonstrated to significantly enhance both upstream manufacturing yields and downstream processing recovery and contributing to the greater accessibility of ex-vivo gene therapy.

YEP support to hire a recent engineering graduate to support Exhilarare's development of a novel, scalable material manufacturing process.

Airdrop has the potential to expand the reach of autonomous aircraft delivering time-critical cargo. However, autonomous airdrop requires advanced navigation and control systems to deliver goods safely and accurately. In this project, Ribbit is developing airdrop navigation and control software that delivers new capabilities on top of its existing autonomous stack.

The project will test AI strategies for agricultural crops.
