To do that we will develop a local micro-manufacturing facility in Nova Scotia, that will encompass fiber extraction, non-woven development, and pad conversion. This project will allow us to scale up the fiber extraction process, complete research on pre-processing of the raw materials, including washing, drying, decorticating, and cutting to length before extracting the fibers in a tank, and sterilizing the fibers for non-woven manufacturing. This project will allow Aruna to move from slower manual small scale equipment into a pilot scale fiber extraction

Design and development of Shopsitry's Site Builder components and related backend services.

The project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the firm.

Initially it was thought that simple steel studs could be used on the interior walls to attach finish material panels, with the elimination of steel studs in the insulated panel. However, in designing with the steel studs and considering their attributes, it was realized that they would perform better in duties such as housing electrical, HVAC, audio visual with ease. In addition, an attachment system could use material finished panels currently being designed for the demountable wall.

As a result, instead of regular steel studs against the sheathing of the insulated stress skin panel, the firm looked for different profiles that would have an open face but at the same time allow for interior panels to fit over what was now to be referred to as The Chase System.

Performance optimization of the Octave web platform - and implementation on Android and iOS.

International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm to enter into future international co-innovation work.
