Pixel plans to hire a young graduate to support a twelve-month digital service improvement project within its SiteCare division. The employee will help strengthen Pixel’s ability to update, secure, and maintain client websites by supporting WordPress upgrade readiness, implementation of site changes, security-related follow-up activities, and documentation of repeatable maintenance workflows. The project will help Pixel improve internal delivery processes, increase service efficiency, and expand its capacity to provide more scalable and reliable website maintenance services to clients.

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.

This project will develop an AI platform for automotive dealerships to manage, track, merchandise, price, and syndicate vehicle inventory in real time to optimize inventory lifecycle performance.

This project aims to develop a new type of flexible, lightweight sensor network that can monitor people’s health in space and in remote areas. By using laser-induced graphene (LIG) as a sensing layer within sensor patches, the resulting network can track moisture, strain, and temperature across the body, generating a comprehensive physiological body map. The developed sensing network will advance health monitoring from local or torso-based monitoring to comprehensive full-body monitoring. Beyond space exploration, the lightweight sensing network can benefit health monitoring in rural communities.

This calibration project will use JWST/MIRI to create an improved, time-sensitive map that tracks how bad pixels evolve, helping the system ignore or correct them more effectively.

After obtaining two patents and with a third pending, the firm has a pre-MVP (a very basic prototype, all pixels moving at once, with software lacking automation and error handling, not yet commercially viable) that has demonstrated the TRL5-6 capability on a GCA stepper in an external microfabrication laboratory.
With this project, the firm aim to produce two more concrete versions (individually actuated pixels, for two different industrial setups: ASML and Canon - market leaders) and test them in real-world environments with at least one partner and potential client (more after this project).

The Project will support pilot testing of AI strategies, determine target architecture and quantitative technical objectives for implementation of an AI solution for vehicle lead automation.

The project focuses on creating a modular product configuration engine and a centralized attribution pixel management system to improve customer experience and data-driven decision-making.

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

The project will deliver a new integrated LED micro-array driver and control network, which represents a key building block in the firm's optical switch technology, for future applications (antenna structures).
