Umay is looking to launch its signature product, 'Rest' in late Summer 2021. With first round of (1000) commercial units spoken for via 18 pre-ordered optometry clinics and a contract with the Government of Canada - Innovation Solutions Canada Testing Stream (ISC) (value of ~$550k). Umay's focus over the next 9 months is to expand current product market fit efforts at scale, to ensure current predictions are scalable across identified b2b channels, including speciality retail and health providers (ex. wellness spas, sleep clinics, mental health providers etc.). Commercialization efforts will also include initiating Health Canada approval and expanding business development and operational efforts to support customer success and retention.

The Stress Field Detection - SFD® technology was developed and deployed worldwide for hydrocarbon prospecting to demarcate geological features that manifest via subsurface density distribution and stress distribution/orientation such as, inter alia, faults, fractures and formation porosity/permeability. The presence of these features, albeit at different spatial scales versus hydrocarbon prospecting, would render an area conducive for geothermal exploration. This project is designed to extend the application of the SFD® technology to geothermal prospecting, hereinafter referred to as SFD-GT.

The proposed project aims to develop and demonstrate a machine learning based Recommender System using reinforcement learning and 2 different digital twin models, ultimately, to help Anaergia Plant Operators make more informed decisions, with an objective to optimize (increase or decrease) biogas production, total plant capacity, downtime, stability of biogas production, energy use, natural gas use, valorization of non-organic waste, quality of fertilizer output, based on Plant objectives and operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts.

The project involves the elimination of sediment and oil being returned into the recycled water for the soil washing process. Currently, it is difficult to treat and recycle water from a soil wash plant and hydro excavation water is highly variable.

Vocalmeet is in the final stage of releasing its SaaS - based live streaming application called "MemberStreaming" for member-based organizations across North America. While most of the application's development process has been completed, the technology deployment in a hosting environment remains open and will be undertaken within the next few months.

The LifeSciences BC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs 2021-2023 is a continuation of this program that was initially launched in 2020. This program brings together annual cohorts of at least 10 early-stage BC SMEs in the life sciences sector with an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR). EIRs are carefully selected and matched to each SME based on specific experience and knowledge relevant to that particular SME. The program supports the participating SMEs to become “investor ready” by providing them with new skills to successfully attract investment funds. Each cohort-year of the program will culminate in an investor pitch session where the participants will use their new skills to present to a group of pre-qualified investors.
