Bioreactor technology has been poorly explored for marine ecosystems compared to terrestrial ecosystems, both in the context of fundamental R&D and the subsequent translation of innovations from bench to market. The consequence is that the vast majority of marine microbes have never been successfully cultured, leaving untapped the wealth of biodiversity represented by global oceans. This project will focus on addressing capability gaps in the Canadian biotechnology sector by designing and manufacturing a novel bioreactor and associated systems to support the unique technical requirements of atypical microbial fermentation using marine bioresources and marine-derived microbes. This project will provide resources and a collaborative research environment to explore innovations in bioreactor design and operations and to increase the commercial viability of fermentation processes based on marine systems.

In the current “AI Enhancement Project”, the chatbot will be expanded to be more closely integrated into scheduling and to have a better interface for customers to refine and optimize its operation.

AiimSense, a MedTech startup, is dedicated to pioneering point-of-care neuroimaging devices for early stroke diagnosis and monitoring. This project will help strengthen their capacity for commercialization.

In recent years, modular construction has increasingly become recognized as an environmentally sustainable technology that is able to provide quality homes to meets the needs of Canada’s housing affordability and supply crisis. In order to fully take advantage of the potential of modular homes, companies must take off their “construction hat” and put on their “manufacturing hat”. Efficiencies in the way that buildings are built must be derived from industries that been successful in “customized standardization”, such as car manufacturing. ROC Modular is currently running an assembly line process for module manufacturing and is looking to incorporate Design for Manufacturing Assembly (DFMA), Lean/Kaizen principles and levels of autom

The candidate will work as a Technical Sales Representative”. The person will support the sales activities by doing preliminary sales calls from leads generated internally by online marketing initiatives and in-person meetings. The person will also conduct follow-up calls, update our CRM and support senior sales staff. The person will demonstrate the technology and become proficient in the key technical features of the systems.

Optimization of fleet and mobile asset management, as well as monitoring of vehicles' mechanical and physical conditions.
