The exponential growth of AI/ML data centers requires a shift to Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) to overcome critical power and bandwidth bottlenecks and drastically reduced the environmental impact of AI. This project will enable the development of a prototype of a next-generation Co-Packaged Low-power Short Reach Serdes optical engine for AI Compute Centres.

In order to perform carbon dioxide removal, Site Operators ensure the safe and efficient daily operations of our carbon dioxide removal project site. This project is focused on our Site Operator, a community college graduate that brings a background in marine biology and ocean technology, with a keen eye for safety to the firm.

MOSTAVIO is developing a universal, modular, and high energy density swappable high-voltage battery platform scalable from 50–800 V to power next-generation eVTOL aircrafts. Addressing aviation’s core barrier to electrification, the system delivers safe, energy-dense, certifiable batteries usable across ultralight, emergency-response, and future 2–3 passenger eVTOLs. The project introduces standardized solid-state sub-modules, a reconfigurable distributed BMS, and swappable high-discharge packs. This platform reduces manufacturing waste, extends system life, improves safety, and accelerates the replacement of combustion-based short-range aircraft.

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

SixRing’s project involves the conversion of its current product streams (cellulose and a liquid biocrude) into a combined unique stream of molecules that can be used in the established Hydrotreated Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) process for the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). SixRing’s new research will allow for the use of non-food lignocellulosic biomass for the generation of structurally similar molecules to those used in the HEFA process; which will increase the supply of these molecules and help mitigate the price increases for cooking oils observed globally.

The primary focus is to support the rapid scaling and stringent quality requirements of new large-scale programs for high volume military and dual-use applications.

Deep Breathe is developing portable, turnkey, novice-friendly devices to assist warfighters with rapid trauma triage. The long-term vision is to equip military personnel with a simple, screenless ultrasound device with onboard algorithms that detect life-threatening consequences of traumatic injury. This all-in-one device, named “ATLAS Probe”, will revolutionize battlefield diagnostic capabilities. Given the long time required to design and manufacture hardware, we are developing ATLAS Tactical – a mobile application that interfaces with handheld ultrasound devices, functioning as a comprehensive trauma assessment platform. Lastly, we are developing an educational mobile app featuring early prototypes of the algorithms in ATLAS Tactical.

Develop an edge-deployable agentic models with secure onboard processing and connectivity for validated aircraft integration to Canadian and allied military and dual-use aircraft.

This project will develop a modular solid-state transformer platform that combines voltage transformation, power conversion, and power-quality control in a compact, digitally monitored device for EV charging hubs and modern power distribution.
