Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this agreement is to enhance the ability for Indigenous Peoples to engage and participate in projects related to enabling infrastructure for critical minerals development.

The objective of this project is to expand the reach and ensure the upkeep of an online tool designed to help Quebec residents and small businesses identify cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions to replace oil, natural gas, or electric (baseboard) heating systems in small residential and commercial buildings.

GH Power Inc. is advancing a proprietary aluminum–water reactor that transforms recycled aluminum into three zero-carbon products: high-purity alumina for EV batteries, semiconductors, and specialty glass; fuel cell grade green hydrogen, and usable thermal energy. This project will validate continuous 24/7 reactor operation at TRL 9, confirm product compliance with customer specifications, and deliver a modular reactor design for global commercialization—positioning Canada as a leader in clean hydrogen and critical minerals.

The project aims to develop cutting-edge hybrid DC-DC converter, LTO battery, and gateway controller, and an integrated system combining all three of them. This includes efficient DC-DC hybrid DC-DC converters with solar and battery inputs and a telecom 48V output, high-performance energy storage LTO batteries with re charging capabilities, and a gateway controller that allows cascading of power modules and communication for monitoring and control of the power system. The objective is to significantly contribute to the progress of integrating renewable (solar) energy and emissions-free, low cost, low maintenance, reliable telecom power systems, and replace diesel generators as a primary source of power.

Acentury will participate with consortium partners to research and create a process for creating “digital twins” for communication networks, also known as “Network Digital Twins” or NDTs.
The NDT will replicate a physical network, allowing for testing, optimization and simulation of network activity in a virtual environment. The purpose of the NDT / LAMTA integration is for operators to use "LAMTA NDT" to test their networks virtually, without always needing a physical lab.
Acentury will leverage our expertise in network element configuration, deployment and testing to generate customer specific NDTs that support a wide range of use cases.

Software development and demonstration project to enhance a route optimization platform that plans and optimizes delivery routes, tracks delivery progress, and automates customer notifications with estimated delivery time of arrivals. Improved algorithms will reduce time spent on the road and fuel consumption by at least 20% for delivery trucks through increased routing efficiency and applied AI technologies.

This project will develop, in collaboration with one of AGE-WELL National Innovation Hubs for agetech, hydration sensor capabilities that integrates with the Firm's platform to support safe, secure, and healthy independent aging.

Advancing EVCare platform to support scalable EV fleet electrification through predictive and generative AI for lifecycle prediction, operational readiness, and AI-powered user interaction.

RadioSyn is designing and manufacturing a miniaturized automated radiopharmaceutical synthesis platform. The platform includes a shielded, state-of-the-art synthesizer that eliminates traditional production barriers and complexity. It also addresses critical limitations in conventional diagnostic and therapeutic workflows by standardizing and streamlining radioimmunoconjugate and radiopharmaceutical manufacturing.

Program Name: EUREKA Cluster – CELTIC-NEXT SUSTAINET Guardian – C2024/3-3 – led by German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFK) (Germany)

Firm will advance their AI-driven SASE platform to demonstrate resilient, sustainable, and secure edge networking across cloud, CPE/edge, Wi-Fi AP, and cloud/datacenter edge. The project integrates ML-powered anomaly detection, real-time threat prevention, software-defined orchestration, and network-as-a-sensor telemetry to deliver proactive defence, multi-WAN continuity, and energy-aware operations validated in lab and simulated edge environments.
