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.

PrePad is undertaking a significant infrastructure and AI expansion project to scale its platform for enterprise deployment with major oil and gas clients. This 18-month initiative aims to strengthen backend systems and enable seamless integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Additionally, PrePad is developing an AI-powered ingestion pipeline to automate onboarding, which will replace manual data entry and reduce client implementation time. 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.

OCAD U CO offers IRAP clients a ten-week participatory research workshop to learn how to foster empathy with customers, uncover customer needs, and develop impactful value propositions that align with customer motivations and behaviours. Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) will learn how to use emerging tools and to anticipate how AI-driven capabilities will reshape customer expectations and behaviours. 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.
