GRI Simulations Inc. received a contract in the amount of $296,125 for its small Remotely Operated Vehicle training simulator. The product is a remote operated simulation tool for small vehicles.
Compusult Limited received a contract in the amount of $810,896 for an application for Android/iOS devices to discover, access, collect, and manage information about earth's surface. It provides soldiers in action the ability to collect and upload data to their command centres, as well as to share it with other soldiers in the field for military and security operations.
Last summer, the department made it easier for innovative Canadian companies to apply for and participate in the program. Companies can now submit their proposals any time during the year, as soon as their innovation is ready to be tested.

The BCIP helps Canadian businesses get their cutting-edge goods and services from the lab to the marketplace. Successful sales translate into jobs, and jobs lead to prosperity for hard-working Canadians and their families. This program is just one of the many ways the Government of Canada supports small and medium businesses across Canada.
