Project Auk is a pioneering initiative designed to revolutionize atmospheric data collection by enhancing LZC's Gitpo RPAS with ice detection and mitigation technologies. This project is strategically aligned with several critical objectives:
1. Environmental Sustainability;
2. Global Impact;
3. Technological Innovation

GH Power Inc. is advancing a proprietary aluminum–water reactor that transforms recycled aluminum into three zero-carbon products: high-purity alumina for EV batteries, semiconductors, and specialty glass; fuel cell grade green hydrogen, and usable thermal energy.

The project aims to develop cutting-edge hybrid DC-DC converter, LTO battery, and gateway controller, and an integrated system combining all three of them. This includes efficient DC-DC hybrid DC-DC converters with solar and battery inputs and a telecom 48V output, high-performance energy storage LTO batteries with re charging capabilities, and a gateway controller that allows cascading of power modules and communication for monitoring and control of the power system. The objective is to significantly contribute to the progress of integrating renewable (solar) energy and emissions-free, low cost, low maintenance, reliable telecom power systems, and replace diesel generators as a primary source of power.

The purpose of the NDT / LAMTA integration is for operators to use "LAMTA NDT" to test their networks virtually, without always needing a physical lab.
Acentury will leverage our expertise in network element configuration, deployment and testing to generate customer specific NDTs that support a wide range of use cases.

Software development and demonstration project to enhance a route optimization platform that plans and optimizes delivery routes, tracks delivery progress, and automates customer notifications with estimated delivery time of arrivals. Improved algorithms will reduce time spent on the road and fuel consumption by at least 20% for delivery trucks through increased routing efficiency and applied AI technologies.

This project will develop, in collaboration with one of AGE-WELL National Innovation Hubs for agetech, hydration sensor capabilities that integrates with the Firm's platform to support safe, secure, and healthy independent aging.

As part of the international consortium project “Power-Oriented Natural Graphite for Advanced Battery Systems”, this project will demonstrate the potential of graphite process fines for battery use. Figure 1 (see on attached proposal) shows the NGAM production flow for LIB anodes, starting with mining and beneficiation to extract flake graphite. After crushing, grinding, and flotation, purity reaches =97%. Micronization (6–20?µm) and spheroidization improve shape and performance but generate ~50% low-value fines. These are typically discarded. RAINCA and NGCBM aim to revalorize them into high-performance, battery-grade materials, supporting sustainable graphite use.

CTA is a non-profit of Canada with expertise in semi-active suspensions systems and advanced engineering for mobility. This project’s objective is to deliver an innovative damper design for wheeled extraterrestrial vehicles, using friction that can be modulated. This system replaces traditional fluid based damper elements that are not well suited for the harsh condition of space exploration. By using algorithms to modulate friction in real-time as a function of inputs such as speed, the system can improve the mobility of rovers, allow operation at faster speeds and improve systems lifespan. The project includes detailed design, manufacturing and characterization of a damper prototype in a laboratory. The disruptive technology could position Canada as a leader in advanced rover mobility, filling an important technological gap that overly complicated smart suspensions seem to overlook.
