For Greenhouse growers who want to minimize their operation expense and crop loss and want to consistently obtain highest quality in yield, EIS Crop Sense is an IoT wireless crop health monitoring platform that detects minute changes in the health of plants before symptoms become visible. Unlike other crop monitoring technologies, EIS Crop Sense collects more than 50K multi-dimensional data points from each plant non-invasively in less than few seconds. Without touching the crop, we measure physiological, chemical, biological and physical changes inside, on the surface and around each plant from a close distance. With our technology, we can cover 10 acres of area in 2 days and scan every single plant at close range. It takes human scouts 8-10 weeks to cover the same area and they can only sample a limited number of plants.

FREDsense Technologies is a Calgary based biosensor company commercializing fast, portable, and cost effective kits for chemical analysis. Our objective is to take chemical analysis out of the slow and expensive centralized laboratory and into the field to the source of contamination making it easier to provide actionable information in minutes instead of days. The initial focus is on the water treatment, remediation and mining industries, and the environmental consultants and engineers that need portable sensor technology to measure and monitor water quality.

GBatteries is the developer of ActiveBMS, a smart battery management technology that increases the performance of li-ion batteries. ActiveBMS prolongs cycle life by 10x, charge speed by 6x, and reduces overall battery pack costs by up to 30%.

Green Power Labs is a leading predictive energy management solutions provider and an internationally recognized solar expert. The company provides predictive analytics software-as- a-service to solar power producers, utilities, commercial building operators and municipalities for long-term planning, deployment and operations. Based on its advanced predictive analytics platform Green Power Labs developed predictive controls solutions for various ‘smart grid’ and ‘smart buildings’ applications. Green Power Labs’ predictive energy management solutions enable operational costs savings for solar power integration (up to $12 per MWh of solar) and reduce building energy use by 10% to 25%.

Venture backed start-up in the specialty clean-tech chemical industry. The company has discovered and subsequently developed catalysts for use in a proprietary thermo-catalytic process to selectively depolymerize post consumer/industrial plastics into higher value specialty chemicals such as synthetic waxes, lubricant, greases, and fuels.

For device manufacturers in energy storage, energy generation, and water treatment, Ionomer locally manufactures high performance, durable anion-exchange membranes. Unlike even the most innovative competition, Ionomr’s membranes are ultra high strength, can operate in the most challenging conditions demanded by industry, and are quickly adapted to application needs.

MyHEAT is a technology company that utilizes high resolution thermal data combined with proprietary normalization and error mitigation techniques to reveal where heat loss is occurring, and support the comparison of envelope efficiency for every building in a city at 1/100th the cost of current methods.

SEI is changing the economics of how operators monitor electrical grids and the trillion sensor industrial internet. SEI’s technology represents a fundamental industry shift by adding intelligence and signal processing to each sensor node. By time-synchronizing this data, SEI provides operators with ubiquitous network visibility and insightful information that increases efficiency and improves system reliability.

SulfaCHAR is the cost-effective, convenient and zero-waste solution to the growing $3B per year global renewable natural gas cleaning industry. With patented SulfaCHAR, toxic and corrosive hydrogen sulfide is filtered out of renewable natural gas, allowing these users to drastically reduce their maintenance costs. SulfaCHAR is unique – it is the only product that effectively converts hydrogen sulfide into a fertilizer supplement, and not another waste requiring disposal.
