PRODUCT SUMMARY TOP 3 TAKEAWAYSAOMS Technologies offers an integrated Industrial IoT platform (hardware and software) based on its patented sensing technology to help industries collect mission-critical data and generate insightful information from their assets and processes. By using AOMS IoT platforms, industries can enhance efficiency, reduce operation cost, increase safety, and improve environmental sustainability. AOMS offers its IoT platform as a service to a wide range of industries including construction, environmental, energy, and aerospace.
Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest growing technology trends which will drive substantial economic growth in B2B and B2C sectors over the next 50 years. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is a major contributor to the growth of the global IoT industry in the next five to ten years.
AOMS products serve a large group of multi-vertical end users including small/medium sized companies, multinational enterprises, and public and government entities.
AOMS invests in both direct and indirect channel strategies. While the majority of AOMS growth has been based on its direct approach, the company is capitalizing on building partnerships for rollout product through indirect channels.
SEEKINGAOMS is at a critical point of growth and as we are expanding our market reach globally, we are looking for business opportunities outside Canada. We are pursuing strategic partnership and business relationship with companies investing in industrial IoT and 5G across different sectors including construction, energy, industrial asset management, and process industries. In addition, we are very much interested in building relationships with private and strategic investors for our upcoming growth financing rounds.

EnersionUsing Heat for Cooling
REPRESENTATIVE
PRODUCT SUMMARYEnersion has developed a new green chiller technology that uses heat instead of electricity to produce cooling thereby saving on electricity consumption by over 75% compared to the conventional cooling technologies. In addition, it uses water as a refrigerant as opposed to synthetic refrigerants (like R134a) that contribute to global warming. Enersion chiller uses any thermal energy such as solar energy or low-grade waste heat (an existing by-product of operations) to produce cooling power. It also can be paired with a CHP (Combined Heat and Power) unit to offer cooling, heating and electricity as one integrated solution. The work behind Enersion began in 2015 by a team of University of Toronto and MIT surface physicists who set out to replace the century-old compressor-based cooling technology with a financially viable green technology.
A green cooling technology that is 6 times more efficient than conventional solutions.
Its ROI is less than 2 years and can be retrofitted in most industrial settings.
Has been successfully piloted on a 5-ton chiller in a Toronto data center.
SEEKING $1-2M capital to be matched against other governmental funds. The team is also looking for strategic partners who have access to low-grade-waste heat, such as utility companies, data centers, or companies who either operate or manufacture CHPs.

PolystyvertPolystyrene Recycling
Polystyvert has developed an innovative and profitable process that allows all forms of polystyrene (PS) to be recycled. Following a unique dissolution, purification and separation process, the regenerated polystyrene resin is of very high quality, allowing many applications to incorporate 100% recycled materials, at a lower cost than virgin resin. Twenty million tons of PS waste is generated each year around the world ($35B market). PS is the least recycled plastic due mainly to costs (transportation, decontamination) and a low-quality product, therefore the majority is sent to landfill. The PS industry is intensively looking for a viable recycling solution.
Proprietary intellectual property consists of three patents developed by Polystyvert.
Scale-up completed with a demonstration plant operating since June 2018 in Anjou, Quebec.
International sales traction with major players under a licencing model.
$5M for the commercialization of licences and the development of a new generation of equipment that will increase productivity.

SolarSkyriseEnergizing Vertical Real Estate
SolarSkyrise provides business analytics to real estate owners allowing them to generate a new, renewable revenue stream from existing assets.Reaching beyond rooftops, the SolarSkyrise platform analyzes the Vertical Real Estate (VRE) of building envelopes to quantify the maximum amount of renewable solar energy all surfaces of a building can produce, along with the associated costs, returns, and environmental benefits.
Conservative estimates indicate that the global unrealized property value from solar on urban commercial buildings in excess of two trillion dollars, with over $300 billion dollars in realizable property value gains in the US alone.
The growing worldwide movement toward low carbon emission and net-zero buildings necessitates the installation of solar producing panels on building facades through Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics (BIPV).
With trustworthy, supplier agnostic analytics, SolarSkyrise is building the market for building-integrated solar and will accelerate the adoption of urban solar, in order to build healthier, more sustainable cities, while creating real value for building owners in the process.
A seed investment of $1 million USD to fund growth in the US and global markets. Funding will be utilized to increase the pace of planned technological software enhancements, along with marketing SolarSkyrise’s products and services to key customer groups. In addition to funding, SolarSkyrise is seeking a strategic investor with deep knowledge and strong connections in the US commercial real estate sector, with compatible values and a history of investments and operational performance that demonstrate a clear commitment to sustainability.
