Grants and Contributions

Dimatec is upgrading its automated high-temperature Metal Matrix Composite manufacturing cell to improve precision, efficiency, and reliability for dual-use defence and commercial applications while strengthening Canada’s advanced manufacturing capacity.

The project will support exploratory work to assess new applications of handheld ultrasound technology in field conditions, where portable medical imaging may be advantageous or required. This project supports innovation in Canada’s advanced medical technology sector and contributes to broader national priorities related to health innovation, advanced manufacturing, and dual-use technologies that may have both civilian and defence applications.

The goal of this project is to develop formulations and solutions to achieve consistent visual and physical characteristics n with a wood treatment process that emulates ebony with readily available essences.

Participation in the Canadian Cleantech for Mining Mission to Australia and Indonesia – May 4 to 13, 2026. Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to establish relationships with key customers, end-users, investors and other international firms, which will help set the stage for potential Canadian projects in the International Technology Pilot and Demonstration (ITPD) Program: Cleantech call for proposals. Firm will also be attending the Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX26) conference.

Many older Canadians wish to age in place, but bathroom accessibility is a major barrier due to space, layout, and retrofit challenges. To date, there is limited guidance for the functional space and configuration requirements to support bathroom maneuvers by individuals who use assistive devices, including 1) WhMD users and 2) people who require a caregiver or support person for bathing or toileting. This study will provide essential evidence to inform discussion for the National Building Code of Canada. Findings from
this work will remove barriers for older adults, while also considering the need for minimum requirements that would allow some accessibility to be provided in tight spaces that are common in the real-world. The widespread uptake of evidence into design practice will be supported by engaging the technical committees developing requirements for the National Building Code of Canada (NBC) in this area.

This project entails developing a Defence Compliance Strategy for Pegasus Aeronautics in so that it may participate in the development, manufacturing, and sales of more sophisticated, Defence systems. These typically require Controlled Goods compliance and more stringent security and reporting capabilities relative to industrial technologies.

The project aims to evaluate and structure the adaptation of a Canadian respiratory control technology for dual-use applications, including defence-related contexts.

Hire a recent graduate to help develop tools for marketing and sales and to build a strong pipeline of procurement opportunities for the firm.

This project advances the engineering design of an Arctic capable modular vehicle platform intended for reliable operation in extreme and remote environments. Phase 1 focuses on structural simulation, cold-weather materials validation, and development of electrical, thermal, and digital system architectures supporting mobile healthcare and operational services. The technology addresses national priorities related to Arctic readiness, resilient infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing while contributing to Canada’s innovation capacity in dual-use mobility solutions applicable to both civilian and defence-support markets.

This project aims to validate an offline XR training framework.
