The funding program is the outcome of a special forum in which TECTERRA collaborated with Clinexus to identify opportunities to develop geomatics solutions for unmet needs in healthcare. The program is an opportunity for Canadian small and medium companies and Alberta geomatics applied research groups, separately or jointly, to apply for up to $500,000 in support of geomatics technology development for health applications.
"We're pleased to see TECTERRA participating in accelerating the development of innovative geomatics technology for healthcare," said Rob Beamish, Executive Director of Clinexus.
The , TECTERRA's other targeted sector funding program, is jointly funded by TECTERRA and LOOKNorth. Applicants can receive up to $500,000 for projects focused on the application of remote sensing and other geomatics technologies for integrated resource management applications in Canada's North. This program is targeting projects in both the initial stages of commercializing a new technology (including, prototyping, piloting and field trials), as well as latter-stage product development and commercializing.
"We look forward to working with TECTERRA to support the development of innovative geomatics technology for the safe and sustainable development of Canada's northern natural resources," said Paul Adlakha, Executive Director of LOOKNorth.
