Business Summary: The are two valves in the heart: Mitral and Aortic. 20 years ago the only option was to replace valves. Then mitral valve repairs became possible, but over time, the repairs failed as the annulus started dilating. This led to the development of mitral annular rings for a more stable long-term outcome with Mitral repair surgery. Recently, aortic valve repairs became possible and we have patented and developed a new aortic annular ring to mitigate the forecast problem. We will aim to secure a license deal.

Business Summary: ASI will participate in the formal medical market as a Tier 1 medical device. Competitive devices to measure atherosclerosis cost approximately $25,000 and require a clinician to operate. Our device has a capital cost of ~$100 and determines a person’s stiffness index in less than two minutes. We will earn revenue with a fee-for-use pricing model charging a fee every time our software is used to analyze a digital pulse wave signal.

Business Summary: BLP applies near-infrared spectroscopy technology to test for ethanol content in wine. BLP’s device is easy to use, affordable and can be used on wineries. Current practices to test for ethanol are to send samples to a third-party lab or use expensive and/or complicated equipment.

Business Summary: Callia is reducing the need for labour in the fulfillment for flower orders. The model is to sell one of 5 standard arrangements connecting customers direct to producers through a commerce enabled IT platform. We have solved last mile delivery issues using tech for the disposable marketplace.

Business Summary: Recent progress in wireless communications resulted in the abundance of electronic systems talking to each other. Those systems require high bandwidth, mitigation of interference problems, and facilitation of propagation at 5G frequencies. CEMWorks’ builds and sells solutions allow simulating city-block scale scenarios using unprecedented electromagnetic solver technology.

Business Summary: CAST licenses the software platform and builds new applications. Combining this technology advantage with the extensive real-world experience and networks of the CAST team, and a collaborative approach that taps into the expertise of a wide range of sustainability professionals, CAST is uniquely positioned to successfully deliver scalable solutions that work.

Business Summary: No company in the world has a PET scanner for Brain. All brain PET is with full-body machines meaning too much air/space between the image target and the device. Design, manufacture and sell Brain Pets to hospitals and clinics.

Business Summary: SaaS model with restaurants as the customer. Primary market research has confirmed mid-tier restaurants (Joey’s, Moxies, Kingshead) will deploy the option as it enables the restaurants to deal with rush times more efficiently (e.g. the Kingshead able to help the theatre crowd pay and leave in time).

Business Summary: PowerHV has two products aimed at solving market pains with current bushings in the market. The first pain is bushings which explode. PowerHV has developed more resilient bushings. The second pain is the loss of energy as the bushings step down the current. Current bushings lose about 6-8% of the transmitted power during this conversion. PowerHV’s technology improvement reduces loss by about 20%. PowerHV will manufacture and sell their bushings at $5,000 compared to the $2,500 of current bushing prices but will save about $2,500 in lost power per year providing utilities a 12- month return on invested capital for a 20-year product.

Business Summary: Real-Time Data Simulation of power grids are done by utilities and manufacturers of controls and relays. Currently, a $250,000 computer is required for such simulations and the controls and relays must be physically connected to the simulator. Simvergent has a proprietary algorithmic process that enables Real-Time Data Simulation to be completed with a laptop and connected to the control or relay over the Internet. We will sell the service of simulation to utilities and manufacturers of grid components.

Business Summary: The proprietary process for extracting protein enables the manufacturing of Type II Collagen (for use in functional foods or in capsules) and a protein enhancement (for use as a food ingredient) from animal sources currently unused by Canadian food processors. Both products are sold as raw materials to wholesalers and manufacturers/distributors of consumer products. Triple 3 sells product at a 75% gross margin into a large commodity market.
