Innovator combats algal bloom that kills fish
Small business entrepreneur Jason Deglint is using machine learning to develop novel technology that has the potential to fight harmful algae blooms — ultimately saving time, money, and fish lives.

The Internet of the future is closer than we think
An Ontario start-up has developed the first ever global network that enables the distribution of quantum-endowed encryption keys from quantum random number generators at scale. Quantum Key Infrastructure™ (QKI) not only protects national security networks, but can also be integrated into critical systems.
“Thanks to the Mitacs Accelerate Entrepreneur program, I took a leap of faith to continue pursuing Blue Lion Labs after my PhD. This has allowed us to withstand the global pandemic, find additional pre-seed funding through Next Canada, and participate in a global aquaculture accelerator called HATCH.”
Jason Deglint
CEO, Blue Lion Labs
“Mitacs was fundamental in helping us develop QKI. It is very difficult to find skilled labour in this sector. The Accelerate program gave us access to the talent we desperately needed.”
