Ultimarii is expanding its AI-powered regulatory platform by implementing three enterprise grade agentic workflows which will accelerate major project approvals by enabling intelligent drafting, decision support, and data visualization for legal and regulatory processes.

The project will deploy Agentic AI technology to create a unified, automated platform for managing products, inventory, and orders across all channels and markets

The intern will assist in all regulatory duties, including new fertilizer product submissions and fertilizer registration renewals, and help with the creation of technical marketing documents

International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project. Areto Labs is an A.I. powered social media content moderation software company. Firm is looking for partners who recognize the importance of online content moderation, want a solution, and have an innovation mindset who are interested in or connected to the European sports market.

CropMind add a junior Marketing and Communications Coordinator to accelerate client acquisition. One of the goals is to explore ideal ways to communicate value to growers and OEM partners during the critical Spring and Fall sales windows. This project will directly support measurable commercial outcomes through targeted campaigns, content, and lead nurturing activities aimed at driving new leads and converting >10% to paying clients.

Barreleye is building an "Operations" suite of functionality which will empower teams to plan, execute, and adapt water logistics in real time—ensuring water is delivered on time, cost-effectively, and without risk. Hydraulics will balance pressure, rates, and pump efficiency, while minimizing capital costs. Generic job management will ensure clear communication between field teams, vendors, and headquarters via Firm's mobile app. Which will ensure live updates on water movements, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments to prevent downtime. By digitizing execution workflows and integrating real-time data, Barreleye Operations provides the control and confidence needed to keep water operations running smoothly, efficiently, and on budget

This proof-of-concept feasibility study aims to establish a DNA-free genome-editing system in chickpea, a vital legume crop known for its nutritional value and significant nitrogen-fixing capacity. The Project will be conducted over 12 months, focusing on the selection of target genes, design and synthesis of guide RNAs, and optimization of transformation protocols. The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and the National Research Council (NRC) will collaborate to assess the efficiency of this method across 2-4 chickpea genotypes. Given the recalcitrant nature of chickpeas, which complicates conventional transformation and gene editing, the successful execution of this study may pave the way for enhanced genome editing in legumes, improving crop resilience and agricultural productivity without introducing foreign DNA into the host genome.

The NRC has created human amniotic fluid-derived iPSCs (HAF-iPSCs) to produce functional T cells for adoptive therapies. This Project aims to validate and optimize the differentiation of HAF-iPSCs into CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, evaluating their performance against established iPSC lines. To facilitate evaluation of therapeutic potential, an in vitro microcontact printing platform will be developed for high-throughput characterization of iPSC-T cells' ligand binding responses and cytokine release profiles. Additionally, the Project will explore using self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) and NRC’s lipid nanoparticle technology to deliver CARs, targeting BCMA for blood cancers and EGFR for solid tumors, ensuring stable expression and functionality across various cell lines. These efforts seek to create off?the-shelf iPSC-derived CAR-T cells with predictable therapeutic response and means to screen their functional profiles.
