Grants and Contributions

This project will explore how advanced underwater inspection and asset management technologies can be adapted to support defence readiness. The initiative will assess technical and operational requirements for applying these technologies in defence contexts and identify opportunities to enhance Canada’s capabilities in infrastructure resilience and environmental awareness. The project will strengthen Canada’s innovation ecosystem by advancing technologies that benefit both defence and commercial sectors.

The project aims to help TACTIQL Inc. expand into international defence markets, focusing on NATO Europe and South Korea. It will involve mapping defence ecosystems, analyzing customer segments, and understanding procurement environments to identify opportunities aligned with Canada’s defence, AI, and digital technology priorities. The outcome will be a structured market engagement strategy, identification of scalable international channels, and a roadmap for aligning with allied defence procurement processes—ultimately strengthening Canada’s role in global security and innovation sectors.

The Canada–Vietnam Academic Mobility Project: Toward Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Governance in the Indo-Pacific aims to strengthen university cooperation between the two countries by supporting research and training in the areas of inclusive and sustainable economic governance in the Indo-Pacific. Led by the NEME Chair, the initiative will award ten research grants (five for graduate students and five for professors/researchers) for 3–4-month stays in Vietnam, in partnership with two institutions: the Foreign Trade University in Hanoi and the University of Law in Ho Chi Minh City.
