Bradley Engineering will develop a web-based inspection portal that allows infrastructure owners to view and analyze large 3D models and related inspection data. The project will advance methods for streaming massive 3D datasets, visualizing AI-assisted defect detection, and supporting collaboration between stakeholders.

This project advances a new, physics-based flood-modelling capability that quantitatively evaluates the real-world performance of existing and planned green infrastructure as a climate adaptation solution.

Verdyn is developing a modular, multi-port solid-state power conversion platform that reduces redundant conversion and isolation stages while enabling DC fast charging with integrated battery energy storage. The architecture supports higher renewable utilization, smaller footprint, and faster deployment of EV infrastructure at sites constrained by grid capacity and space.

To improve the efficiency and service quality of ICI’s hosted solutions, ICI seeks to add a new team member to review the current state of the company’s AWS based staging and development environments, so as to support the collaborative design of a next generation cloud based architecture that is vendor agnostic and suitable to support sovereign solutions for customers outside of the United States. The new architecture would be comprehensively documented, and its deployment would be automated using industry standard scripting languages and verified using automated testing tools. Additional efforts would be applied to establish a solution architecture that supports scalable data processing services deployed.

This grant represents Canada’s long-term institutional support to the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The DAC uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding, to achieve its mandate.

The DAC’s mandate is to promote development cooperation quantity and quality and monitor and analyse development finance flows to improve sustainable development.
