PTFE bearing adhesion is a R&D initiative, which focuses on innovative solutions to support the production of clean energy. Target industries are hydro power and other industries using large scale rotating equipment. HTI will utilize creative material science and develop new concepts for manufacturing PTFE bearings to be tested in labs to ensure maximum performance and reliability. HTI has unique manufacturing concepts developed for PTFE bearings and support systems that are compatible with the methods, both of which can be further developed with some proprietary concepts in engineering design, and material enhancements to optimize product performance and reliability. This project will allow HTI to develop best in class products.

Automatic Coating Limited (ACL) has established itself as a world leader in customized specialty coating equipment for export globally. ACL is working to develop the 3rd generation of these machines which is a scalable machine to fit in a smaller footprint.
ACL has developed and patented a Tidal Coat Fluidized Bed coating machine and system that will automatically coat a watertight door and fixtures with first pass quality in under 2 minutes. These machines are being considered for deployment to foreign allied Navy’s maintenance centres however there is a requirement for a one coat system and a system that will fit into a smaller footprint.

The project will improve customer services and marketing potential by creating and then supporting and updating a CRM system.

Buoyancy Works is enhancing its economic empowerment platform by refining workflows, extending functionality, and optimizing front-end interactions.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada, and while immunotherapy shows promise, it faces challenges such as high costs, long production times, and severe side effects. The Maganti laboratory at Canadian Blood Services has developed a small molecule cocktail to improve the production of "off-the-shelf" immune cells from cord blood stem cells. However, this technology needs optimization for clinical scale production of chimeric antigen receptor-expressing NK (CAR-NK) cells using good manufacturing practices (GMP). This proposal aims to create a GMP qualifying manufacturing protocol to produce CAR-NK cells (expressing a novel CD20 CAR) at clinical scale, making immunotherapy more accessible, affordable, and safer, ultimately improving cancer treatment in Canada.

This project will revolutionize personal fitness with a scalable, voice-guided training app delivering real-time audio coaching for running, cycling, and strength training by April 2026. Using a novel mix of generative AI, text-to-speech AI, and rules-based algorithms, it offers personalized feedback, motivational prompts, and two-way interaction. Users select coaching voices, receive dynamic adjustments based on GPS, heart rate, or power, and enjoy audio-guided strength workouts. With 5,000+ weekly users and 400% higher DAU rates, our tech creates a personal trainer experience, driving adherence and engagement.
