Grants and Contributions

This project will strengthen Canada’s innovation ecosystem by advancing market readiness for a Canadian-developed stratospheric intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platform.

Masterly is developing a prototype of the Masterly POD, a foldable, intelligent infrastructure unit designed for Arctic and remote deployment.

This project validates an explainable operational decision-support module designed to strengthen risk analysis and compliance preparation for dual-use RPAS missions in complex Canadian regulatory environments. The work focuses on structured testing, verification protocols, cybersecurity-by-design, and deployment readiness for sensitive and defence-adjacent contexts. Outcomes include a tested prototype, a repeatable validation framework, and a secure integration roadmap supporting critical infrastructure and public safety operations.

By strengthening domestic capability in AI-driven geospatial intelligence and modelling & simulation, GeoMate contributes to Canada’s defence industrial capacity and sustainable economic growth.

This initiative supports national priorities in cyber resilience, artificial intelligence, and secure digital infrastructure.

Publicus is training and scaling a multi-agent AI system that converts unstructured procurement data into structured intelligence.

 The project will create a secure platform for sharing cybercrime and fraud intelligence among Canadian stakeholders, enabling better detection, prevention, and participation through reusable guides, training, and regional symposiums, while generating one skilled job.

By targeting illicit financial flows and strengthening regional border-security efforts, the initiative will reinforce intelligence gathering, criminal investigations, and operational activities in key threat and transit countries.

Canadian Vendor Risk Intelligence Exchange (CVRIX) strengthens Canada’s supply chain cyber resilience through an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered platform for continuous vendor risk monitoring and shared intelligence, reducing detection time, automating assurance, training practitioners, and enabling sustainable national adoption.

The project strengthens Canada’s dairy and poultry systems by creating secure Internet of Things (IoT)/Artificial Intelligence (AI) pipelines, anomaly detection, and workforce training, mitigating cyber risks to animal welfare, food safety, and climate reporting credibility.
