Grants and Contributions

As part of the international consortium project “NPmsDNA2024: Development of in vivo targeted non-viral gene therapies” this project will focus on leveraging Entos’ Fusogenix PLV formulations optimized for delivery of DNA-based genetic medicines to target cell types of the retina to address unmet medical need in rare ophthalmological diseases, including Stargardt Disease. The project will evaluate novel DNA based genetic medicines, encapsulated with Entos’ Fusogenix PLV formulations, for enhanced bioactivity, durable transgene expression and optimal tolerability in small animal models.

This project will develop a novel high-conductivity AC wire to improve signal detection quality in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems, enhancing sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy.

The anticipated outcomes of this project include the creation of jobs in Canada, accelerated export growth, and the solidification of PrePad's position as a leader in digital oilfield optimization.

The patent-pending process offers a non-toxic alternative to cyanide for gold extraction. This project will develop an electrochemical regeneration cell to cut oxidant use by ~40% while maintaining ~80% recovery, de-risking pilots and advancing commercialization.

Clarius is looking to identify early adopter customers who have channel access to healthcare subsectors and are positioned to focus on selling Clarius scanners, that are interested in piloting our handheld ultrasound solution in the Indonesian, Thai, and Japanese market.

Terra Nova Trusses (TNT) is expanding its operations at its Mount Pearl facility to meet the rising demand for housing across Newfoundland and Labrador. TNT is investing in a new panelized manufacturing process that incorporates automation, modern equipment, digital workflows, and advanced design and costing software. These upgrades will enhance production efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness to market needs.

These services support IRAP’s mission to provide innovative assistance services to SMEs in Canada.

PHD Solutions is developing a static, overhead, vision-based pallet dimensioner to accurately weigh and measure pallets of freight for the Transportation and Logistics industry. The device is mounted overhead of a floor-scale in a warehouse environment. When a pallet is dropped under the device, the device is triggered to measure and weigh the pallet. The device will be fully integrated into our enVision Cloud platform, which enables the transaction result to be sent there for easy integration into host systems.

This project aims to develop an advanced system that predicts space weather events (like solar storms) and provides real-time impact assessments for critical infrastructure and operations, helping decision-makers understand which regions and systems might be affected to enable better operational planning and risk mitigation.

The key innovation objective of the automated inventory system is to eliminate lost warehouse inventory, improve productivity and streamline cargo movement from door to door. We are looking to leverage technology to increase production in the existing Canadian locations and improve competitiveness against US competitors to grow local employment and revenue.
