Grants and Contributions

The proposed project aims to develop next-generation SWTCH product offering in CORTEX. It includes the implementation of local load/energy management & network hardware along with cloud software features in an architecture that support scalability and ease of deployment at individual buildings and across multi-site portfolios

Research and development of new algorithms for application scalability, inventory, and resource planning capability.

Development of an automated, single molecule multiomics platform for rapid at-line biomanufacturing.

This project focuses on developing a cutting-edge solution for real-time tracking of raw materials used in concrete production, such as cement and aggregates. Giatec is developing technology to generate operational and environmental improvements in the construction industry. This project focuses on developing a solution to further improve the quality of concrete and reduce its environmental impact. Additionally, the system will generate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on an ongoing basis, ensuring accurate, up-to-date environmental impact data. This innovation aims to improve efficiency, sustainability, and transparency in the concrete industry while supporting regulatory compliance and decision making.

This 2nd round of the Invention to Innovation (i2I) for SMEs CtO will continue to develop the innovation skills and entrepreneurial mindset of pivotal researchers/scientists/engineers within select BC SMEs, with a focus on the life sciences, cleantech and deep tech industry sectors. This CtO will educate and mentor the respective technical employee in developing a commercialization strategy for new product development within their organization. Customized mentoring will be provided by SFU Innovates in both sector specific learning groups and in one-on-one sessions with Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIRs) serving as mentors.

The project aims to develop and enhance software features to improve performance and scalability. Key activities include implementing new functionalities, improving user experience, and expanding the development team.

The project will push the limitations of known quantum algorithms and develop new methods using quantum hardware to study correlated electron systems. By developing both classical and quantum approaches the team will create well defined benchmarks against which quantum-enabled approximation schemes can be compared and it is expected that opportunities for hybrid algorithms will be identified in the process. Results of the work will be published in scientific articles and codes generated will be released publicly.

This project will enable further development of proprietary cable-suspended 3D printing head and a highly precise cable drive system.

Spandrel Interactive seeks to build a system for integrating generative AI avatars in their VR/MR projects. The purpose of such avatars will be to teach soft skills for training purposes and to complement the physical simulations that are being developed today.

The purpose of this project is to hire a highly skilled, technical resource to improve the user experience of our product's web application through front and back-end modifications. This will help encourage higher usage by our customers, and can create more unique user experiences for different types of customers.
