The federally backed Digital Technology Supercluster on Thursday unveiled eight new initiatives from its $60-million COVID-19 program, including a new system for local authorities to model the impacts of reopening as well as platforms for virtual mental health, addiction treatment and telework for youth and health-care workers.
The Vancouver-based non-profit has allocated $30.3 million to COVID-19 projects so far, with participating organizations — which include the likes of quantum computing firm 1QBit, the University of British Columbia, Microsoft, pharmaceutical giant Bayer and health software startup AlayaCare — putting up another $29 million.
The company has existing partnerships with Providence and Foundry; the new app is “something that [Thrive has] been talking about for a while, but didn’t have the bandwidth to actually do,” Helliwell told The Logic. Victoria-based development firm FreshWorks Studio will adapt Thrive’s platform for the supercluster project, with a final version scheduled for early 2021.
Ottawa has faced scrutiny over the speed of its funding rollout for the superclusters. In March, The Globe and Mail reported Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada spent just $5.6 million of the $244 million it planned for the 2018–2019 fiscal year.
