Highlights

This program offers your business up to $1,000,000 in funding to develop AI solutions for monitoring detainee behavior and medical distress in holding cells. The funding is split into two phases: proof of feasibility and prototype development. This means you can get financial support to explore your ideas and build a working model.

The money can be used for various costs, including research and development, hardware and software procurement, and salaries for your project team. This is a great chance to innovate and create a non-intrusive, sensor-based system that enhances detainee safety while meeting privacy regulations.

Why is this important for you? This funding can help you bring your AI solution to life without the financial strain. It supports your R&D efforts and provides a clear path to commercialization. Plus, it aligns with the RCMP's needs, giving your project a real-world application and potential market.
