Industry Impact

Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada's Testing Stream Program is looking for participating companies to experiment with prototype Blockchain technology for the purpose of supply chain transparency. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has reached out to stakeholders including CPCA and its members to explore interest in participating in the program as part of ECCC's interest in supply chain transparency. Members will get access to prototype Blockchain technology and work with inventors to test its functionality and real-world applications

Case Implication

Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers

Member Action Required

Any CPCA member interested in participating should contact CPCA by Friday September 11, 2020

Timeline

The expected level of commitment for participants would be approximately 10-30 hours over the next year. Any CPCA member interested in participating should contact CPCA by Friday September 11, 2020

Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada’s Testing Stream program (formerly the Build in Canada Innovation program) is looking for participating companies to experiment with prototype Blockchain technology for the purpose of supply chain transparency. The Testing Stream program helps leading Canadian entrepreneurs commercialize their products, by providing support to test pre-commercial goods and services in real-life settings.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has reached out to stakeholders including CPCA and its members to explore interest among companies participating in the program as part of ECCC’s interest in supply chain transparency. In brief, Blockchain technology promises an all-in-one solution to the challenges of storing, managing, and protecting data. Blockchain provides a secure way of authenticating information, data transactions, and more – creating a secure record that can be updated in real-time.  A Blockchain supply chain can help participants record price, date, location, quality, certification, and other relevant information to more effectively manage the supply chain.

The purpose of this prototype testing is not to develop a standardized government system, or to endorse a particular technology, but to explore the feasibility of Blockchain innovations for supporting supply chain communication and resilience, and to help Canadian innovators gain insight into real-world applications and limitations of their products.

Participants in the Testing Stream

The prototype technologies are sourced from private or public companies, not-for-profit organizations, universities, and individual inventors.

Specifically, the organizations involved will:

  • Be Canadian or partnered with a Canadian bidder
  • Own the intellectual property (IP) rights, or have been granted a licence to the intellectual property, and are not infringing on any IP rights

Any CPCA member interested in participating should contact CPCA by email by Friday September 11, 2020. The expected level of commitment for participants would be approximately 10-30 hours over the next year.
