When a technology goes from lab to market, it is typically many years in the making rather than an overnight success. Such is true for the journey of the switchable water technology developed by a Queen’s University research team led by Professor Philip Jessop and Forward Water Technologies, the company that is now advancing its forward osmosis clean-water technology toward full commercialization.
Not all the benefits of the Wings accelerator, Queen’s Partnerships and Innovation’s (QPI) program for startups, are found in the official curriculum. For entrepreneurs used to working on their own, having the chance to meet others involved in the same journey can have benefits, especially during COVID-19. That’s true even if that connecting takes place via a Zoom call. For Erin Huitema and Behshid Behrouzi, the CEO and COO respectively of Alucia Lingerie, such a casual encounter helped them to establish a relationship with one of the leaders in their field.
Prior to the pandemic, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) that the mental health system in Canada was under extreme duress and since the start of the pandemic that pressure has increased excessively.
Imagine a tool that would allow a track coach to analyze the sprinting of a young athlete when they are running flat out, right down to the subtlest nuances – how their foot lands, how their leg muscles tense and release, where their stride might be modified and improved. All using nothing more than video cameras and a sophisticated computer program.
