Critical design phase of next-generation portable wind energy system and AI-driven wind mapping platform to improve durability, rapid deployment, and energy performance.

This project will test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms to design optimize a repeatable and scalable business process, which may result in new business methods for automatic document processing.

Design of a digital maturity assessment model tailored to hydroelectric companies to analyze their ability to adopt advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, and analytics.

Aviridi is undertaking an R&D project to develop a large-format hot press platen and tooling system for advanced molded fiber manufacturing. The project focuses on analyzing and managing thermal expansion in a 1.2 m × 1.2 m platen used in pulforming equipment, the largest size currently deployed in the molded fiber industry. The work includes engineering design improvements, development of tooling fixtures, and software enhancements for robotic automation to maintain alignment during high-temperature operation. The outcome will improve manufacturing stability, automation accuracy, and scalability of sustainable molded fiber packaging production.

The project will look into the feasibility of creating a framework tool that supports the development of a supplier intelligence data pipeline methodology to enable reliable sourcing activities with new electronic product designs and the ongoing maintenance of supplier risk. This will deliver prototypes for validation to a few target SMEs to support faster sourcing decisions and assess potential supply chain risks.

Vivacity Technologies is developing a Secure AI-Powered Document Sharing and Redaction System. This Canadian platform will use AI to automatically classify document sensitivity and redact information in compliance with Canadian defense protocols.

This project will enable the testing of hypotheses and the experimentation with new mechanisms to establish a replicable and scalable business process, which could lead to new commercial methods in the field of knowledge management.

Ionic Mechatronics, a leader in industrial automation, proposes to upgrade and market its SafeGap cybersecurity device for defence applications. The project will enhance device resilience, integrate defence-specific features, and develop targeted marketing to promote adoption in defense sectors. This initiative advances Canadian tech innovation, boosts economic growth, and strengthens national security through reliable cybersecurity solutions.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program and the Salish Sea Initiative, is to support the participation of Indigenous peoples in activities relating to the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat, including the development of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) policies, program elements and regulations and the development of their technical capacity to support greater involvement in the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program- Grant Funding is to meet the legal obligations to support the participation of Indigenous communities in consultations on Departmental Crown conduct (i.e., decisions, such as arrangements, approvals, authorizations and permits) under the Fisheries Act and/or Species at Risk Act.
