The key objective of this project is to support Planet Hatch, the only Startup Visa incubator in New Brunswick, with process innovation and reduced timelines in serving its clients. In doing so, the interns will be brought on board to study the current process flow and recommend process improvement as well as develop a promotional […]

A large proportion of start-ups fail within the first ten years of their inception, yet most studies focus on those companies that are successful. In Ontario, we have a unique system of Regional Innovation Centers that exist to help start-ups succeed. Historically, data has not been collected once a company is no longer actively engaged […]

L’organisme partenaire effectuant de projets de coopération internationale, Desjardins, possède des protocoles de collecte de données non à jour quant aux bonnes pratiques. L’organisation a atteint le stage final de son projet de micro-financement au Bénin Appui au développement, à l’assainissement et à la professionnalisation du secteur de la microfinance (ADAPAMI) et doit mettre sur […]

Planet Hatch is an acceleration centre located in Fredericton, that helps entrepreneurs and startups grow into well-positioned, internationally competitive businesses through programs, funding, mentorship, coaching, facilities and events. The Planet Hatch Sales Accelerator program is the first sector-agnostic sales acceleration program in Atlantic Canada. The program helps startups build their sales pipeline, develop skills to […]

This research is designed to advance understandings and monitoring of the recreational and Indigenous food salmon harvests and their management within the Central Coast of BC. Further, this collaborative research project is being led by the Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance and four partnering First Nations (Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xai’xais, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv Nation) to develop a […]

Kelps are large brown algae that can form complex marine “forests”. Many marine species, including salmon, use these kelp forests as habitat. However, kelps in the Salish Sea have been declining in recent years. This has likely been driven, at least in part, by ocean warming. If we are to predict how kelp losses might […]

This project will examine bird-habitat relationships at the Nature Conservancy of Canada Old Man on His Back Conservation area. Understanding how conservation grasslands can be managed to maintain high quality Species at Risk habitat is critically important for Canada to meet its obligations under the Species at Risk Act. We have three objectives: 1) determine […]

Our previous research with Mitacs has found that financial burden is one of the biggest negative contributors to the mental health of community-dwelling seniors. We plan to continue to work with the West End Seniors Network (WESN), Vancouver’s second largest not-for-profit seniors’ center, to explore how technology can be utilized to provide mental health aids […]

L’association entame effectivement des travaux de planifications stratégiques afin de définir les orientations des cinq prochaines années. À l’aide des outils classiques de stratégie (analyse interne et externe), ainsi qu’un benchmark d’autres organismes […]

Climate change is rapidly altering the planet, and solutions are urgently required to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and limit further warming. Blue carbon ecosystems (salt marshes, seagrass meadows, kelp forests, marine soft sediments) are important carbon reservoirs that could contribute to Canada’s climate change solutions. Yet, despite having the world’s longest coastline, Canada has […]

L’organisme Culture Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean (CSLSJ) compte implanter un outil numérique (Plateforme Numérique +), qui permettra de centraliser un ensemble de services et d’accès aux ressources pour le milieu artistique de la région. Afin d’effectuer une implantation réussie et de faire une évaluation des résultats, une équipe de recherche de Polytechnique observera et analysera la résistance au […]

A novel high temperature and high pressure materials test system, a so-called in-situ punch shear test cell, has been developed to qualify materials for reliable service in harsh environments representative of those typically encountered in oil and gas operations. Conventionally, materials are first exposed in harsh environments, then removed from the aging fluids for mechanical […]
