Automated Dowel Laminated Timber Machine Development - Version 2: Increased production rate and larger panels

The NitroVault™ Production Scale-Up Initiative is an R&D-driven project focused on developing the technical capability to increase production of Purity Gas’s novel turn-key, containerized NitroVault™ package system

This project will test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms to design (or optimize) a repeatable and scalable business process, which may result in new business methods in virtual reality entertainment.

Launch Bioindustries will develop microbial strains and bioprocesses to convert organic waste into compostable bioplastics. This project will focus on establishing baseline production metrics and improving strain performance to enable efficient, cost-effective bioplastic manufacturing. The outcomes of this work will support the development of next-generation biomaterials that reduce reliance on petroleum-based plastics and contribute to a more circular, environmentally responsible economy.

Fluorine is a key marker in environmental, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and food safety analysis, but current testing methods like CIC, LC-MS/MS, and F-NMR are slow, costly, and limited. Kimia Analytics is advancing a proprietary, high-sensitivity fluorine detection technology that augments existing mass spectrometry capabilities. This project bridges late-stage R&D and commercialization by refining the design, validating performance in real-world settings, and accelerating adoption through pilot testing—positioning Kimia as a global leader in scalable fluorine quantification for PFAS and pharmaceutical applications, while driving economic impact for Canada through innovation, exports, and skilled job creation.

The project will deliver a minimum viable product of a new Family Health Solution for public health nurses and family physicians.
