Sea ice is an integral part of the climate system. To obtain hemispheric-scale information about sea ice and the snow cover on top, satellite radar remote sensing is the method of choice. Microwave frequencies are ideally suited to observe sea ice/snow because they are independent of clouds and penetrate the snow and sea ice. However, […]

This project is focussed on developing an optical imaging technology called photoacoustic imaging. Photoacoustic imaging is able to distinguish healthy tissue from cancerous tissue during breast surgery and could one day eliminate the need for repeat surgeries. The technology uses a pulsed laser to selectively build up pressure in some tissues and microphones to listen […]

This project aims at developing a magnetic nanoparticle-based technology that couples novel aptamers (MNP@apt) for targeting T-cell enrichment for CAR-T cell therapy applications. The proposed method offers several advantages to antibody-based isolation of T-cells, namely stability and ability to release captured T-cells. Finally, we aim to develop a method that can be amenable to large-scale […]

Restoration of ecosystems that have been degraded or damaged is important to protect biodiversity and can help Canadians to address climate change by storing carbon and reducing the impact of natural disasters. Satellite images are acquired regularly across all of Canada, including remote areas, and the series of images that builds up over time can […]

TechBA is a program run by the Canada-US-Mexico Foundation for Science (FUMEC) and supported by Mexico’s Secretary of Economy, created to help provide access to the most dynamic business ecosystems for small and medium sized technology-?based Mexican businesses interested in expanding into global markets. With eight locations in highly technologically competitive environments, its objective is […]

Gasification of wastes (either urban waste or residues from forest and agricultural operations) at large scale is a challenging operation because of the heterogeneity of the feedstock. Enerkem has addressed such challenge via its state-of-the art Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology coupled with secondary Cracking and Reforming that results in high conversion of Carbon to […]

Building on research initiated by CERCA and Project Watershed on microplastic presence in the Cowichan and Comox estuary respectively the scope of the proposed project has been substantially expanded by including live samples of crustaceans, fish, and algae apart from sediment and water samples from the estuaries and their tributaries. The research will be conducted […]

Canada Technology Connection Inc. (CTC) is a biomedical engineering company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that focuses on innovative health technologies in the field of 3D human body imaging. We invest in innovation, research and clinical science in complex 3D human modelling, imaging, and modern computer vision. Our goal is to research, test, validate and […]

Black Business Ventures Association (BBVA) is a non-profit technology accelerator with a mandate to increase the participation of Black-led technology startups in Canada. In November 2021, BBVA launched the first Black-focused accelerator program in Western Canada. In order to implement its programs and connect with Black communities across the Prairies Region, BBVA plans to establish […]

Pinchin is one of Canada’s most prominent firms when it comes to environmental, engineering, building science, as well as health and safety consulting. With over 900 employees in 42 offices across the country, Pinchin has started with providing consulting services to the asbestos abatement industry and it has developed into one of today’s leaders in […]

Le Labo – Solutions Brassicoles est une entreprise qui produit à grande échelle des solutions de levures liquides à des fins brassicoles, c’est-à-dire qu’elle fournit aux microbrasseries du Québec, et bientôt d’ailleurs, les petites bêtes nécessaires à l’élaboration des bières, celles qui rendent possible la production d’alcool lors de l’étape qu’on appelle ‘fermentation’, mais permettent […]

The project will develop a 6G silicon-based beamforming network incorporating optical technologies. Such a technology may increase the performance of the 6G wireless systems and to reduce the power consumption. The use of photonics to perform beamforming has a key advantage of wide instantaneous bandwidth with no beam squint problem. Since the signals are already […]
