(St. John\u2019s, NL) \u2013 Today Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster announced three projects from its Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program (AOSP) stream, including the CoLab Enterprise Project. Through the collaboration of startups, SMEs and other partners in ocean, this project provides a global solution for ocean sectors with an increasing focus on achieving greater productivity, remote operations, and environmental technologies.<\/p>\n

With a total project value of $2,801,948, the Ocean Supercluster will provide $1,634,563 in funding for the project, with $1,167,385 in funding coming from industry. The CoLab Enterprise Project is led by CoLab Software partnered with Genoa Design, Kraken Robotics and Petroleum Research Newfoundland and Labrador to build and commercialize CoLab\u2019s highly configurable, enterprise-ready review and engineering communication platform that supports the future of Agile Model-Based Enterprises and Digital Twin Solutions.<\/p>\n

The CoLab Enterprise Project will help contribute to Canada\u2019s competitive advantage in the digital development and management of complex engineering projects with a cloud-based solution that combines 3D design review technology and mechanical focused issue tracking to securely support thousands of users working together in real-time. Today there is no comparable platform on the market that combines these capabilities for digitalization and collaboration.<\/p>\n

This technology is not only applicable to the partners involved and ocean sectors, but has broad applications across all verticals of the manufacturing sector for any company wishing to manage complex projects while reducing costs, and improving efficiency and quality.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Ocean Supercluster is an industry-led transformative cluster focused on tackling the shared challenges across ocean sectors through a collaborative program designed to accelerate the development and commercialization of globally-relevant solutions, while also building a highly-capable, inclusive workforce. To encourage innovation and trigger new industry investment during these challenging times, the Ocean Supercluster supplemented its core programs with an additional project stream called Accelerated Ocean Solutions Program (AOSP). This enables the development of smaller projects on a shorter timeline that deliver tangible outcomes, while continuing to build resiliency in our ocean sectors.<\/p>\n
