Delta’s Hydra Energy
created hydrogen–diesel co-combustion conversion technology that can reduce the carbon emissions of current diesel engines by up to 40 percent. With interns drawn from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University, Mitacs provided access to niche talent (and funding support) to help move the technology forward.
Prince Edward Island’s BIOVECTRA
recently expanded its capabilities into mRNA/pDNA vaccines and therapeutics, which have shown promise as the next generation of patient care in pharmaceuticals. A Mitacs grant enabled the firm to hire four graduate students as interns — a unique opportunity for these students to help advance development of important technology and gain hands-on experience in specialized labs.
