Three new projects have been funded through B.C.’s #IntegratedMarketplace program, which is delivered by Innovate BC. Each of the three projects are part of the Integrated Marketplace’s testbed at Vancouver International Airport (#YVR), which includes YVR and organizations in its vicinity such as General Fusion. Two projects will seek to bolster operational capabilities at YVR through drone-based runway monitoring (Niricson) and an enhanced paging communication system in the terminal (Hybrid Audio Visual), and the other will support the development of a state-of-the-art diagnostics component (Motus Design Group) for General Fusion’s new Magnetized Target Fusion machine, called Lawson Machine 26. ➡️ Read more: https://loom.ly/EfoLzc4 #InnovateBC, Peter Cowan, Sheila Schindel, Vancouver Airport Authority, Brenda Bailey , Nathan Nankivell; Government of British Columbia, Harjit S.
