    Accelerated Molecular Discovery (AMD) Proposers Day

    AI chemistry program aims to accelerate creation of novel, high-performance molecules for defense needs OUTREACH@DARPA.MIL The efficient discovery and production of new molecules is essential for a range of military capabilities—from developing safe chemical warfare agent simulants and medicines to counter emerging threats, to coatings, dyes, and specialty fuels for advanced performance. Current approaches to develop molecules for specific applications, however, are intuition-driven, mired in slow iterative design and test cycles, and ultimately limited by the specific molecular expertise of the chemist who has to test each candidate molecule by hand. Today, DARPA announced the Accelerated Molecular Discovery (AMD) program, which aims to develop new, AI-based systematic approaches that increase the pace of discovery and optimization of high-performance molecules. A Proposers Day webinar describing the goals of the program is scheduled for Oct.18, 2018. Details are available here: https://go.usa.gov/xPk5j “The ultimate goal of AMD is to speed the time to design, validate, and optimize new molecules with defined properties from several years to a few months, or even several weeks,” said Anne Fischer, program manager in DARPA's Defense Sciences Office. “We aim to develop the AI tools, models and experimental systems to enable autonomous design of molecules to quickly meet DoD needs.” The program calls for teams of researchers to develop AI-based, closed-loop systems that automatically extract existing chemistry data from databases and text, perform autonomous experimental measurement and optimization, and use computational approaches to develop physics-based representations and predictive tools. AMD performers will develop tools, models, and experimental capabilities to rapidly design, validate, and optimize molecules. Government partners will evaluate performer developments and test their ability to identify new molecules with specific combinations of functional properties that may be relevant to specific DoD application requirements. “There are currently around 140 million known molecules, but the space of potential molecules is vastly larger than that, upwards of 1060,” Fischer said. “In DARPA's Make-It program, we've developed advanced ways to efficiently synthesize known molecules. AMD is taking the next step, where we will rapidly be able to explore the unknown molecular universe to design and produce completely new molecules with specific desired functions.” The AMD program seeks expertise in chemistry and chemical engineering, computer science, AI/machine learning, and mathematics. A Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation with full details is expected to be published soon on FedBizOpps here: http://go.usa.gov/3W53j https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2018-10-04 https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=ae1ad9ad522202ca7dcfd9a807fcb817&tab=core&_cview=0

    Webinar – Growing South: How Small Businesses Can Sell to the U.S.

    Small business, big market: How to make a U.S. expansion plan. For most small businesses in Canada, the United States is a key export destination. This should come as no surprise, given that over 70% of our country's total exports head south of the border each year. Despite this continuous flow of goods and services, the process is often far from streamlined. For small businesses especially, everything from U.S. customs regulations to intellectual property issues can be daunting. And for those unfamiliar with the nuances and complexities of U.S. regulations, the red tape can feel overwhelming. Our upcoming webinar, Growing South: How Small Businesses Can Sell to the U.S., will let you in on some proven strategies for overcoming these challenges and gaining a foothold with our largest trading partner next door. We'll also have experts on-hand to explain the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and how it differs from NAFTA. This is your chance to find out what the agreement means for Canadian sectors and businesses, where the new opportunities and challenges lie, and how your business can grow in the U.S. and Mexican markets going forward. Register now for our webinar on October 18 and learn: How the new USMCA might impact your export sales, and tips to get ahead How the U.S functions as a mosaic of unique regional markets Which markets you should target How to export your services and overcome immigration issues How to use the United States as a jumping-off point for even more markets How to find U.S. partners through EDC and the Council of the Great Lakes Region Join us for first-hand insight from trade experts, small business owners who've found international success, and a chance to ask specific questions during an interactive Q+A session. Book your spot to learn how to maximize your export sales south of the border. Can't make the live webinar? Register anyway and we'll send you a link to the on-demand version you can watch at your convenience. Register Today!

    Let's Start at Chapter One

    A ONE-DAY WORKSHOP DISCUSSION ON THE PERSONNEL CHALLENGES FACING THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES IN MEETING THE EXPECTATIONS OF “STRONG, SECURE, ENGAGED” The 2017 Defence Policy “Strong, Secure, Engaged” made a strong statement on the central and critical role that Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel in delivering defence for Canada and Canadians. Starting at Chapter One, the Canadian Government laid out a series of ambitious goals on engagement with the Canadian public, the recruiting of Canadians from all walks of life into the the growing number of skill areas required for military operations of the future and then ensuring that individuals had greater choice and flexibility in how they pursued their military careers. From building a military team that is inclusive of the diversity to be found in the Canadian population, to full and part time employment through to better health and family support during and after military service, the objectives laid out in Chapter One of “Strong, Secure, Engaged” are among the most challenging of the entire 111 initiatives contained in the policy. The central role for personnel issues also hightlights that the “people” challenges represent the largest investment of Defence spending. Ensuring the CAF secures and retains the right numbers and skillsets of recruits and trained service personnel for the ever-widening range of tasks that will be required for operational success and meeting the philosophy of “People First, Mission Always”. “Lets Start at Chapter One” provides for not only a discussion of some of the challenges that the CAF, and others, must overcome to build a modern and high-performing team for the future, but also some of the innovative and effective strategies that are being used in Canada to do just that. During the day, participants will be able to hear from leading defence and security leaders as well as experienced HR practitioners plus as contribute their own experiences during workshops on several key questions that are at the top of the list for the CAF to address.
