This project focuses on commercializing a novel heat-based air disinfection technology. It aims to validate market needs, assess customer segments, and develop a viable business model to bring an energy-efficient purification solution to market, improving public health and making air disinfection affordable.

This project is creating a smart chat assistant that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help construction and engineering companies write accurate proposals, like bids for major jobs. The assistant is trained on the company’s successful past proposals, making it a secure, private expert. When a team uploads a new Request for Proposal (RFP), the assistant […]

This project aims to commercialize a computational biotechnology platform that simulates the structure and dynamics of cellular organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, at multiple scales. These systems play key roles in many cellular processes, and their malfunction is linked to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, and cancer. While experimental methods provide valuable insights, they […]

Venipuncture is a widely performed yet error-prone medical procedure, posing risks to both patients and healthcare workers due to reliance on visual inspection and palpation for vein access. High rates of needlestick injuries, repeated insertion attempts, and challenges with difficult patient populations highlight the need for safer, more reliable solutions, especially amid workforce shortages and […]

This project aims to develop an innovative biosensor that can continuously and non-invasively monitor clot formation in whole blood or plasma in real time. By combining microwave-based sensing technology with artificial intelligence, the system provides accurate, real-time information on coagulation dynamics without the need for complex laboratory instruments. The technology will help healthcare and biomedical […]

The Township of Ramara is updating its Economic Development Strategy and Community Improvement Plan to better reflect current community and business needs. This project will support that process by collecting and analyzing data, researching best practices from other municipalities, and engaging residents and local businesses through surveys and interviews. The results will help the Township […]

We’re developing a user-friendly, portable ultrasound system with built-in artificial intelligence to measure important beef carcass qualities like marbling, backfat, and ribeye area directly on the farm, in real time. This system includes a handheld scanner that connects to a small device. The device instantly analyzes the ultrasound images and shows straightforward results on a […]

Medication non-adherence is a major challenge in Alzheimer’s care. Fewer than half of patients take their medications as prescribed, leading to faster disease progression, preventable hospitalizations, and significant emotional and financial strain for families and caregivers. Traditional pillboxes and reminder apps have not solved this issue — they are not designed for people living with […]

While outdoor navigation systems like Google Maps have become highly advanced, finding efficient paths indoors such as inside hospitals, airports, or shopping malls remains a major challenge. Most existing indoor navigation tools are static, meaning they cannot adapt to real-time changes such as crowded areas or accessibility barriers. They also rarely account for the diverse […]

As part of the Lab2Market program, this project explores the commercialization potential of the group’s previous research pertaining to the use of computer vision, artificial intelligence and machine learning to precisely detect and identify seeds. Over the 4-month duration of the project, the team will participate in Lab2Market workshops, panels, and lectures from successful founders […]

Le projet se poursuivra cet hiver dans la municipalité de Baie-Johan-Beetz, une petite communauté nordique d’environ 80 habitant·e·s située sur la Côte-Nord du Québec. Comme plusieurs villages éloignés, elle fait face à des défis importants : centralisation des services, pénurie de logements, vieillissement de la population et difficultés à attirer de nouveaux résident·e·s. Depuis quelques […]

The MBA intern will support a quantum startup currently incubated at Quantum Venture Studio (QV Studio), a venture studio dedicated to turning academic research in quantum technologies into viable startups. Over the four-month internship, the intern will work closely with the startup team to help build a clear and realistic three-year roadmap, including business milestones, […]
