One in three women, including up to 58% of pregnant women and 48% of new mothers, experience a pelvic floor disorder (PFD) in their lifetime. PFD affects the everyday lives of women from urinary continence, fecal continence, painful sex and their shame in discussing these symptoms. The lack of comprehensive medical devices to provide for […]

Physical disability in Canadian adults is largely due to painful mobility impairments, with the most common cause being diseases of, and injuries to, the musculoskeletal system and connective tissues (MSK disorders). MSK disorders are generally associated with natural aging, but are also caused by occupational injuries as well as brain or spinal cord injury or […]

Manitoba has an opportunity to transform agriculture practices through advances in sensors, robotics, and machine learn-ing. Real-time, automated methods of in-field data collection are needed to increase productivity and sustainability in production agriculture, to expedite plant breeding and research, and to further the uptake of organic farming. To this end, we are developing a self-propelled, […]

Greenfield Global has been developing a process that aims to convert renewable materials to produce sustainable jet fuel (SAF). In addition to SAF, it is possible to produce other fuels such as diesel. Greenfield Global has been awarded a federal government grant which aims at developing a novel process for the production of renewable diesel […]

Le Lubrium est un polymère synthétique mimant l’activité d’une glycoprotéine naturelle, la lubricine (protéoglycan-4), qui est présente à différents endroits du corps humain, notamment à la surface des cartilages des articulations. En effet, l’arthrose est une pathologie très handicapante ayant un développement progressif avec des prévalences respectives de 20% (7 millions de cas) et 26% […]

NeoSpina Health Care Inc intends to contribute to unprecedented treatment techniques for LBP by developing a novel medical device and investigating acquired data from treatment procedures. Accordingly, the main objective of this project is to develop a non-invasive robotic device to treat a wide array of spinal conditions while reducing the treatment duration compared to […]

La compagnie Estampage JPL Ltée et le Laboratoire des Technologies de la Biomasse (LTB), visent à améliorer le processus de transformation de l’aluminium. Le projet se consacrera à développer des technologies d’inspection visuelles intelligents (capteurs, senseurs, caméras, compteurs intelligents, etc.) pour être capable de diagnostiquer les problématiques de qualité de la matière première et de […]

The Royal Canadian Mint is a world-class producer of circulation and non-circulation coins for Canada and other countries and aggressively conducting and supporting research and development to meet customer requirements and social/environmental wellbeing. One of future strategies at The Royal Canadian Mint is to produce antibacterial Canadian circulation coins, reducing the potential spread of bacterial […]

The market has been building momentum in its demand for ESG reporting from businesses. Regulation is on the verge of being introduced (i.e. recent announcements from the SEC) that will require this reporting from businesses. The project will gather information in order to define and educate about ESG at an introductory level for educational and […]

Copperstone Technologies Ltd, is an Edmonton based engineering firm that designs, builds and deploys its own unique robotic platform. In the past 2 years Copperstone experienced a three-fold growth and faced several challenges through this high growth period. Copperstone needs to invest in developing new financial control policies and reporting procedures for better cost awareness […]

Nowadays, aircrafts use computer-regulated flight control systems that replace mechanical controls with electronic interfaces. These sensor interfaces convert physical movements or quantities (temperature or pressure for instance) to electronic signals between flight control computers (FCCs) and actuators and sensors. A large number of sensor interfaces are used in an aircraft to allow FCCs communicating with […]

NEXFID est une start-up de biotechnologie qui compte produire et commercialiser les protéines et acides gras de haute qualité provenant de l’élevage d’insectes tout en valorisant les déchets organiques. La farine et l’huile d’insecte sont des alternatives durables et écologiques au soja et à la farine de poisson. La production se situera dans une dynamique […]
