💡 Innovation news 💡 Last year, Innovate BC awarded $300,000 to Rapidia Tech Inc. and the University of British Columbia through the Ignite program to help them commercialize their project in advanced materials and manufacturing. The team behind this project is developing corrosion and wear-resistant materials for a metal 3D printing system. This approach will allow for more efficient part designs, reduce material waste and manufacturing facility footprints for faster product development in resource industries like mining and oil and gas. The project, led by Artem Bylinskii, CEO of Rapidia Tech in collaboration with Dr. Adam Clare at the University of British Columbia, is not just revolutionizing metal part manufacturing; they're shaping the future of the industry. With their innovative technology and commitment to accessibility and education, they're paving the way for a new era of manufacturing excellence.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 🚀 📈 Don’t let the accent fool you Simon Angus has been living here in the North for more than a decade. He’s a mechanical engineer by trade, and before setting on the wild adventure of entrepreneurship, worked at the Tidewater refinery in Prince George. His company, Open Waters Solar, is now at the forefront of manufacturing solar panels. ☀️ Hubspace, through the Venture Accelerator Program, is proud to have been one of the organizations that worked alongside Simon during the early stages of his business when he was focused on building a carbon-fiber, solar powered yacht. His story is a classic one in the entrepreneurial world, after the disappointment of realizing that traditional panels could not provide adequate power for the yacht, he pivoted into the real opportunity! He went on to develop a solar panel that surpasses anything on the market in strength, weight, and durability. This innovation has resulted in a substantial backlog of orders from the marine sector and holds promise for offering eco-friendly energy solutions to the transportation industry. Supporting Open Water Solar has been a team effort right from the beginning, along with Hubspace, Simon had support from Community Futures Fraser Fort George , Northern Development Initiative Trust , The National Research Councils Industrial Research Assistance Program and Sustainable Development Technology Canada - Technologies du Développement Durable Canada . His success is not only the story of a dedicated entrepreneur, but the power of collaboration between all these amazing Organizations that support innovation across the north!
