Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

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.

The purpose of the Canadian International Innovation Program (CIIP) grant agreement is to support Canadian SMEs identify international partners in CIIP target countries for industrial research and development collaboration that has good potential for commercialization.

As part of the international consortium project ADSIL, this project will focus on enabling a Cost-Effective Autonomous Driving System with Innovative Camera-Integrated LIDAR. Project ADSIL is a collaborative research and development project that aims to develop a camera-integrated solid-state LIDAR sensor for autonomous driving systems. The sensor technology will be designed to be cost-effective and will use a unique measurement method.

Participation in the Canadian green and resilient construction technology co-innovation mission to the EUREKA Global Innovation Summit (EGIS) in Türkiye – June 10 to 14, 2024. Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to develop international partnerships and potential project ideas under the EUREKA, Eurostars, and Cluster Programs.

Participation in the NRC IRAP’s PIC Summit Europe mission held in the Netherlands, November 6-10, 2023, led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) to develop international partnerships and potential project ideas for the 2023 Xecs Call for Proposals.

Surveying in the construction or mining industry is an essential function as it provides indispensable information to all the other operating disciplines on a worksite. Surveyors are responsible for the timely and accurate measurement of areas and volumes mined, plus the precise representation of a surface situation of a mining plan.

Correct-AI’s products have two primary benefits for its customers. First, they improve safety on industrial work sites by preventing collisions and rollovers. Second, they allow users to improve operating efficiencies by using computer-vision techniques to reduce labor, using the same hardware that is used for safety applications.

Correct-AI's solution offers a significant cost reduction in a short time.

Correct-AI is a fast-growing Canadian early-stage company that works closely with customers who need sophisticated, precise and automated navigation techniques to ensure the safe mobility of their vehicles in real-time. The main function of Correct-AI’s products is to improve safety and operating efficiencies by preventing collisions and rollovers of vehicles and machinery. The system uses camera and LiDAR data to detect and classify objects and determine their size and distance to the vehicle. Our products combine hardware & software solutions and leverage proprietary Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to provide an awareness of surroundings and situations and to convey essential information to operators.

Correct-AI has developed a Vision Guidance System (VGS) for heavy industrial vehicles. The VGS is a technology and product platform with the dual goals of improving safety and operational efficiencies. However, the primary safety focus of the existing system that is already introduced to the market relies heavily on operator response. Under the IRAP application, Correct-AI will add automation capability to the VGS platform for machine control. The system will utilize camera and LIDAR hardware technologies along with Correct-AI’s proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) software to assess data in real-time and take over the operation of the vehicle when deemed necessary.
