SUMMARY:AMii Virtual AI MeetUP
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the latest tools and techniques in machine learning\, and explore topics that researchers and industry professionals are thinking about or working on. Each meetup features two presenters; at the end of each presentation\, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session. \nPresenters for this month include: \nNick Kalogirou – Data Scientist at G2V Optics \nWe are still in the early days of determining what ethical practice looks like for the field of data science. There are numerous examples of both benefits and harms of artificial narrow intelligence. As AI-enabled technology continues developing\, ethics provides a lens to ask critical questions of both modeler and model. During this talk\, Nick will explore a brief overview of who is working on AI ethics; the themes of work; where we are lacking development; and what to do as data scientists about this continuous journey of ethics. \nShems Saleh – ML Lead at Vector Institute \nWhen a Machine Learning scientist starts a project with a healthcare professional\, it is not obvious what questions are important to ask in order to help the team get on the same page and develop clear expectations. This talk will discuss Collabsheets\, a list of questions directed at a broad audience that translates insights from experienced veterans in the ML-Health collaborative space into the field to everyone. The goal is to help grow the community by lowering the initial barrier to much-needed interdisciplinary collaboration. Each section divides these questions into topic categories\, with the aim of easier real-world use. \nJoin us virtually for Amii’s monthly AI Meetup and be a part of building Alberta’s growing AI community!

SUMMARY:Breaking Through and Stepping Outside the Box
DESCRIPTION:Jess left a career in the corporate world to pursue her passion of entrepreneurship in the Trades.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nAfter completing her business degree and working in a corporate job\, Jess walked away from it all to pursue her passion of entrepreneurship in the trades. She started her journey by pursuing a career as a heavy equipment operator. After bulky\, ill-fitting coveralls caused her to have some near misses in her job as a heavy equipment operator\, Jess Black decided to take matters into her own hands and create a line of clothing for women working in heavy-duty industries like oil and gas\, and construction. \nKnowing that active wear is the preferred material worn as base layers on job sites\, she set out to create a line that was also safe. \nIn this session\, Jess will share her story and what she believes it takes to step outside the box and realize your dreams as a female entrepreneur. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bee Energy provides graphene consumers with low cost and high-quality graphene-based materials for their applications. Bee Energy’s primary competitive advantage is lower graphene production duration (~1 day)\, patent pending technology\, and graphene tunability for specific use such as high-temperature stability (800 ⁰C). \n\n\nThe Harvest Hub manufactures indoor soil-based growing equipment and smart farm technology for operational excellence. \n\n\nOnsite RSL is a revolutionary approach to onsite remediation of salt impacted contaminated material eliminating hauling to land fill and associated GHG associated with the trucking. The initial focus is oil and gas contaminated sites. \n\n\nOkos works with developers\, real estate managers\, and utility companies to bring the latest smart home technology to Canadians. Automate heating\, cooling\, lighting\, and more with affordable IoT solutions. \n\n\nSEPPURE creates a new generation of nano-filters to revolutionize industrial chemical separation in multiple markets by reducing energy consumption and pollution substantially. Separation processes account for up to 90% of capital and operating costs in the industry. The heat used in industry to separate chemical mixtures accounts for up to 15% of the planet’s entire energy consumption. SEPPURE replaces energy-intensive chemical separations such as distillation and evaporation across multiple industries. \n\n\nVDQ-NRG is re-purposing landfill waste into alternative energy sources and valuable byproducts\, with a focus on being economically viable and environmentally sustainable. \n\n\nZILA Works: You know how we as a society have come to rely on plastics for almost everything\, yet most plastics today are harmful to our health and bad for the environment? ZILA Works has solved this by creating a bioplastic made from industrial hemp. Imagine if we could use a plastic replacement that is safer for consumers\, helps farmers\, and is good for the environment. \n\n\nZoramat Solutions is developing a specialty chemical\, Zoralite\, that behaves like a molecular sponge to soak up target gases\, while letting other gases through. Then\, like wringing out the sponge\, heat or vacuum is applied to the material to remove a near pure stream of the target gas. Zoralite is being deployed in the carbon capture\, biogas or renewable natural gas\, and ammonia markets to perform target gas separations and purifications more efficiently with lower energy requirements and smaller facilities. \n\n\nAbout Foresight \nForesight is a not-for-profit corporation that fosters the growth of SMEs that are developing technology that improves environmental results and reduce GHG emissions. \n\n\n\n\nregsiter

The three teams will shed light into their founder-funder relationships\, as well as share firsthand how they secured the partnership and how they will work together for their next stage of growth: \n\nArden Tse of Accelerate Fund / Yaletown Partners and Ryan Tucker of G2V Optics\nPat Lor of Panache Ventures and Tim Regnier of Smart Access\nHa Nguyen of McRock Capital and Remi Schmaltz of Decisive Farming\n\nPanel discussions are moderated by Andrea Drager\, Principal at Azure Capital Partners. \nFounders & Funders is open to all investors and tech founders with products at all stages.
