Introducing you to some of the 30 exhibitors at the ANA Avatar XPRIZE Tech Fair:
Blue Origin: Founded with a vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, Blue Origin’s efforts include flying astronauts to space on New Shepard, producing reusable liquid rocket engines, building next-generation space habitats, and returning to the surface of the Moon.
At the fair, meet the researchers powering these achievements and share your visions for life in space. Write or draw your ideas on a postcard and Blue Origin will actually send it to space on a New Shepard rocket, then return it to you stamped “Flown to Space.”
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL): The world’s leader in robotic space exploration, JPL are sending rovers to Mars, probes into the farthest reaches of the solar system, and satellites to advance understanding of our home planet.
Experience JPL’s software ProtoSpace, a collaborative augmented reality CAD visualization tool that is actually used by our engineers to design and build for NASA. This is a hands-on demonstration to see a full-scale spacecraft in augmented reality!
Surface Avatar (DLR x ESA): Developing robots designed to act in surroundings that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans, and that can support humans in everyday life and work.
Visit their booth to find out how astronauts are commanding a robot on Earth, exactly like several crew members have done from the ISS! Using the same multi-modal user interface, you will command a humanoid robot, Rollin’ Justin, in a variety of tasks in a simulated Martian environment.
Puli Space: Alumni of the Google Lunar XPRIZE, Puli Space develops a lightweight, low cost planetary rover with unique mobility capabilities to explore lunar water resources.
At the ANA Avatar XPRIZE Tech Fair, they’ll present the Puli rover I2.61 – visitors can experience its Mission Control interface and drive the rover. Plus, they’ll demo the NASA awarded Puli Lunar Water Snooper, a miniaturized neutron detector, which will search for water ice on the Moon.

“Growth in the hydrogen and fuel cell industries will lead to vast new employment opportunities, and
these will be created in a wide variety of industries, skills, tasks, and earnings. Many of these jobs do not
currently exist and do not have occupational titles defined in official classifications. In addition, many of these
jobs require different skills and education than current jobs, and training requirements must be assessed so that
this rapidly growing part of the economy has a sufficient supply of trained and qualified workers.” source Roger Bezdek 2018
Fast forward to 2023, Hydrogen is happening now and in Alberta’s Heartland! Economic impacts will also play into job creation in Ontario and Quebec.

Building for the New Energy Economy? Get Ready!
2023-06-07 11:45 - 13:30 (America/Edmonton) | Virtual Online
Even as the world goes through economic shifts, we all still need to power our homes, offices, stores, restaurants and communities. And even with scooters and bikes, we still need vehicles to get you to long distance destinations and to deliver your produce.

The energy grid of the future will integrate several forms of power sources, from traditional fuels to new forms of energy including solar, geothermal and hydrogen.

So the question is what types of new builds will be needed for both infrastructure and systems?

New jobs that require new skills or transferable skills from other roles will include design, engineering, construction, and safety, to ESG, project management and maintenance. Creative roles will include communications & sales, and customer experience.

Supply chains and logistics roles will also be impacted to include automation.

Subtrades and contractors will need to be ready to grow their businesses – going beyond the traditional build processes of decades ago, before AI, robotics and automation.

Join this exciting panel conversation with ATCO, Keller Construction and Lakeland College on what you can do to position yourself to participate and lead in the future building of your community and city!
Chat with the panel speakers following the speaker sessions, and as well mentors TBA at virtual tables to ask for advice!

FutureCite Speaking at Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters
2026-05-20 08:00 - 16:00 (America/Edmonton) | NAIT Productivity Centre, 10210 Princess Elizabeth Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Manufacturing will play an ever increasing role in Canada’s future economy. All what was in terms of materials, resources and labour will shift as the new age of automation kicks in. The challenge and the opportunity will lie with how we prepare to reallocate resources, the timing window and distribution, in part due to recent geopolitical events.
Still there are always silver clouds. It’s not a magic wand, but having a big vision, knowing when and where to reallocate resources to have the most impact in a way that still lets you operate while you roll out each objective of your mission. Core to this, you’ll need to learn how to convince your colleagues, co-workers and collaborate to build a new playbook.
SMBs and Enterprise Corporations, and the Educators and Trainers working with the OEMs all form a key role in building the future manufacturing ecosystem in Canada. Time isn’t standing still.
Start planning from the shop floor to management and the Csuite, so that the priority objectives are attainable (for a pilot) to provide outcomes that generate ROI (finance, product, marketing) outcomes. As well, upskill current and new hires as you transition from legacy systems to new digital formats that companies can access. Start to build trust and reliance on relevant data. Yes, cyber security plays a key role too, as does preventative maintenance.

Engage early with employees, and OEMs on training gaps and be prepared to be agile when considering new changes or upgrades to systems and 10 year legacy models fall behind – it will impact your speed to market and agility to create new products and technology keeps spinning faster. .
This is a group journey rather than a helicopter skii run. Getting to the bottom fast won’t do in the future unless you have funding to host multiple. Event with the funding, you won’t catch up with the time lag.
Get the data structured, cleaned and relevant. Legacy systems that project for 10 years to implement may be outdated by competition. And it’s important that the employees who know your current systems and who you can engage and share operations knowledge that may not be in your data files and the engineering and maintenance know-how to share with the organization. You’ll need this to build a a pilot to test on the shop floor where they said they wanted resources to build innovative processes and save time in doing it!
It’s really about exciting and engaging the people who will augment their skills, and gain human super powers, so that robots can continue to chug away on the night shift, and humans verify and add inputs in the morning!
