The project aims to develop a non-invasive, dual-modality tool combining eye-tracking (ET) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure cognitive capacity and enable early detection of cognitive impairments in older adults. Using short-term memory tasks, it captures objective biomarkers (e.g., pupil size and prefrontal neural activity) to outperform the conventional tests in sensitivity and cultural […]

VirtualSLP is an AI-powered platform transforming care for patients with neurologic speech disorders. Conditions such as ALS often cause bulbar impairments—loss of speech, swallowing, and facial expression—that devastate quality of life. Yet clinicians, particularly speech-language pathologists (SLPs), face overwhelming barriers: caseloads as high as 600 patients per year, only 15–20 minutes per visit, and no […]

The project aims to prove and commercialize AddManuChain, a computerized inventory system that will deploy on-site 3D printing to print certified parts on location at the remote industrial sites, including offshore oil platforms, mining operations, and also in the maritime facility to eliminate the expensive effect of long downtimes incurred during part replacement. The project […]

Developing a novel cryo-microfluidic device for ultra-rapid, cryoprotectant-free cell preservation. The project advances prototype design, testing, and market validation to improve biotechnology and regenerative medicine applications in Canada.

The Colchester Food Network (CFN) is a well-established community organization working to improve access to healthy food and build food skills across Colchester County. In 2024, CFN became one of Nova Scotia’s designated Collaborative Food Networks (CFNs), strengthening its commitment to dignity-based food access, inclusive community partnerships, and holistic, culturally responsive programming. With support from […]

Aeronovous delivers AI-powered drone inspection solutions for infrastructure, industrial equipment, and wind turbines, with this internship specifically focused on wind turbine applications. The traditional inspection industry relies on costly and inefficient manual methods—rope-access technicians, prolonged turbine outages, and highly variable reports influenced by crew experience and weather conditions—creating significant safety risks, operational downtime, and inconsistent […]

VerteVUE is a portable, radiation free, imaging device that will allow clinicians to assess critical anatomical features of the spine at the point of care. VerteVUE supports early clinical decision making when used alongside patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), standardized questionnaires and physical assessments. It also streamlines triage to determine conservative versus surgical care, reducing […]

This project focuses on developing a market and regulatory strategy for GlucoSmart Nanogel, an innovative Canadian-made wound-healing therapy designed for people with diabetes. The nanogel combines infection control, immune modulation, and tissue repair in a single, affordable treatment to improve healing outcomes for diabetic foot ulcers. Over four months, the project will evaluate regulatory requirements, […]

MPWash develops a reusable, cartridge-free filter that captures microplastics released during laundry. The project advances prototype validation, regulatory readiness, and commercialization to reduce pollution and strengthen Canada’s cleantech leadership.

This project focuses on developing next-generation marine and offshore components using high-entropy alloys (HEAs) derived from Canadian resources and manufactured through Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), an advanced metal additive manufacturing technology. The marine and offshore oil and gas industries operate in some of the world’s most corrosive and mechanically demanding environments, where corrosion, fatigue, […]

Ocean technology companies and research organizations rely on autonomous sensors, buoys, and communication nodes to monitor marine environments and support offshore operations. While these devices provide essential data, their dependence on batteries creates high servicing costs, logistical challenges, and limited deployment lifetimes in harsh marine conditions. Overcoming these limitations is critical for enabling sustainable, long-term […]
