The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

Specialized nanofabrication services including, but not limited to, maskless photolithography, 100kV electron-beam lithography, photonic wire-bonding and a range of plasma processes for thin film deposition and etching (within cleanroom lab space). These will be offered to SMEs on a per usage fee basis, and will include SME staff training for using the various tools, as well as professional assistance from UBC-QMI technical staff if/as required.

Development of an integrated, portable Internet gateway product offering for LTE and 5G that provides high-speed, reliable Internet connectivity and enables a new software licensing business model using Dejero’s patent pending Smart Blending Technology.

This project will implement a go-to-market strategy and implementation of key elements to demonstrate traction of BeyondBias.

BeyondBias technical capabilities will be extended to support the new go-to-market strategy.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) provide critical thermal protection to the super?alloy metallic parts located in the hot sections of gas turbine engines permitting them to operate at higher temperatures. The power of a turbine is nearly directly proportional to its combustion temperature and advanced turbines are pushing the limits of operational temperature. The main objective of this partnership is to conceive, engineer and optimize the next generation of TBCs using thermal spray processes. The potential outcomes of this research project include new generation of thermally sprayed bond coats and suspension plasma sprayed (SPS) top coats with improved CMAS resistance and a comprehensive computer model to predict coating microstructure, roughness, porosity etc. These new TBC coatings will lead to production of more durable components and more energy?efficient engines, lowering the maintenance costs and increasing flight safety. Consequently, these Canadian companies will be able to better compete in the global market

In a rapidly changing Arctic environment, search and rescue (SAR) capabilities and infrastructure will only become more essential and the challenges, concerns, and areas for capacity building identified by community responders in Nunavut need to be effectively and comprehensively addressed. An effective SAR system: 1) is a vital adaptation tool to help communities cope with Arctic climate change; 2) constitutes critical infrastructure required to support Inuit health and well?being; 3) is a necessary foundation for safe harvesting activities to address food insecurity. Strong SAR capabilities are also a prerequisite to economic development in the region and are required to bolster community resilience. The NSAR project’s multidisciplinary research team will build on four pillars rooted in core IQ values and laws. The first is Piliriqatigiingniq and Aajiiqatigiinniq, which will use regional roundtables to strengthen SAR relationships to build consensus on how to improve SAR in Nunavut. The second project pillar is Pilimmaksarniq, which will involve developing practical knowledge and skills for the organization, administration, and execution of community-based SAR operations. The third pillar, Maligait, will create a comprehensive model to facilitate continuous SAR planning and preparations for the future. Finally, the fourth pillar, Qanuqtuurniq, will support ongoing innovation and improvement in SAR operations.
