Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

The project involves installation and testing of solar panels at a power utility in Portugal and demonstrating the expected results of increased power outputs in AC mode directly from the panels under different irradiation levels, light conditions, and cell inefficiency scenarios.

Through this project, Sera4 will advance its Teleporte access control as a service platform (hardware and software) to incorporate higher grades of cryptography and adaptive security measures.

The goal of the project is to determine a diet for Molitor's whiptail that will provide optimal results in their rearing.

Benjamin Bridge Vineyards seeks to research low productivity in a newer section of its vineyard in comparison to an older, more mature section. Its research team will collect baseline data on the vineyard blocks, assess and test the soil for drainage and nutrient availability and the vines for disease, track yield and quality through the 2022 harvest, collate all the data, and then prepare a report with recommendations on viticultural repair and management.

IRAP Indigenous Pilot Project: An analysis of the existing renewable resources available to the Nahanni Butte Dene Band to supply a district heating system to feed existing commercial and government buildings and new residential and commercial developments.

To prepare for commercialization Borealis would like to redesign several components of the system to make it more scalable (more robust, decrease cost, reduce customization per turbine model).

We will create a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesizer and verb conjugator for nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree). The development of a software-based verb conjugator for nêhiyawêwin represents an opportunity to develop a resource that encompasses significant role in filling the gap in the availability/accessibility of language resources that are suited to the structure of nêhiyawêwin. The development of a TTS synthesizer will be integrated with the verb conjugator and will similarly fill a gap in the availability/accessibility of resources. TTS synthesis is valuable in this context because it will provide learners access to standard pronunciation of words in environments where immediate access to a fluent speaker may be difficult. Because of the polysynthetic nature of nêhiyawêwin, it is impossible to create separate recordings of every word, whereas appropriately designed TTS can produce audio for any word the verb conjugator can generate.

Develop a proof-of concept 3D metal printer add-on utilizing low cost feedstock for use in industrial machine shops.

As part of that effort CSMC has developed a novel concept for an imaging device that is low power, inexpensive and man-portable with applications ranging from geotechnical use for identification of critical minerals on both Earth and the lunar surface; to 3D tomography of human tissue for in-field medical applications; to defect detection for advanced manufacturing. Through this project CSMC seeks to validate its TIMS concept, thereby advancing the state-of-the-art in mobile 3D imaging and introducing a disruptive technology across sectors that are presently valued at more than USD $79B.
