There is no step-by-step guide for building a deep tech company, but sharing lessons learned can make the journey clearer for everyone. 💡
This week at #EdmontonStartupWeek, our Co-Founder & CTO, Dr. John P. Davis, took the stage at @EdmontonUnltd for the "Building Deep Tech Companies" panel.
Alongside fellow founders and ecosystem leaders, Dr. Ryan Tucker of @G2VOptics and Jalene Anderson-Baron of @futurefieldsHQ, John shared real-world insights on what it takes to bring breakthrough research out of the lab and scale a deep-tech company from right here in Alberta. A big thank you to moderator Tiffany Linke-Boyko of @flyingfishvc!
Events like this create valuable spaces for founders, innovators, and big thinkers to come together, exchange wisdom, and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs.🔬

Expressing complex diagnostic targets shouldn’t stall due to improper folding, low yields, or scaling costs.
The EntoEngine® solves these problems by delivering native-like, complex diagnostic assets at scale without traditional bottlenecks. 👉 bit.ly/4rOxZgs
That’s a wrap on Sustain Labs: Beyond the Bench!
We couldn't have asked for a better crowd! A big thank you to our moderator and panelists for sharing their honest experiences with us.
We’re excited to keep driving sustainability forward together! 🚀 💚

(1/2) When Janelia set out to map every neuron in the fly brain in 2008, many thought it couldn’t be done. Nearly 20 years later, a complete wiring diagram of the 166,000+ neurons of the adult male fruit fly is helping to reveal the brain’s secrets: bit.ly/4zT7jPf.
The brilliance of the #fruitfly on display. 😍
Our EntoEngine uses fruit flies as the host for protein expression. We're thrilled that the world is leaning into why the fly is THE model organism in science. 🪰
For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.
