Read the rest of our predictions for 2023 here.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Electric cars aren\u2019t the only innovation on the block\u2014though they\u2019ll get a serious boost in 2023. Canada\u2019s got a whack of shiny new tech coming down the pipe: delivery drones, lightning-fast internet and a hyperloop that\u2019s sure to make Elon envious.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_James_Webb_telescope_will_reveal_more_surprises\"><\/span><b>1. The James Webb telescope will reveal more surprises<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\">Last July, the internet let out a collective gasp at the sharpest images ever taken of newborn stars, freshly captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The Canada Space Agency made key contributions to the $10-billion tool: a fine guidance sensor that focuses on intriguing objects and a near-infrared imager and slitless spectrograph that can provide glimpses of galaxies mere minutes after they\u2019re born. NASA regularly uploads dazzling new photos to a public Flickr account, and some astronomers even believe we\u2019ll soon spot evidence of alien life.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_New_sleep_tech_will_cure_insomnia\"><\/span><b>2. New sleep tech will cure insomnia<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">The pandemic proved to be a lousy relaxation exercise. Eighteen per cent of people worldwide (and 33 per cent of health-care workers) reported poorer sleep quality throughout. Eyeing an opportunity, some enterprising Canadian companies are <\/span>rolling out technologies to help combat so-<span class=\"s2\">called \u201ccoronasomnia.\u201d Smart Nora created a device that detects snoring and inflates users\u2019 pillows, thereby opening stifled airways. Precision Nutrition, a software and training company for nutrition coaches, now tackles stress and sleep management. And for anyone who <i>doesn\u2019t<\/i> love the idea of being covered in electrodes at a sleep lab, Toronto\u2019s Bresotec has developed a take-home apnea test, which is pending <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval from Health Canada.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Drones_will_revolutionize_commercial_delivery\"><\/span><b>3. Drones will revolutionize commercial delivery<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">Last year, employees at Drone Delivery Canada in Vaughan, Ontario, controlled the flight of packages at the Edmonton International Airport, some 3,300 kilometres away. Using a short route between the EIA Airport Operations Facility to a site in nearby Leduc County, the drones shuttled cargo\u2014in the form of 4.5-kilogram packages\u2014to two nearby shipping companies, which then delivered the goods to their final destinations. These test flights could eventually become a permanent solution for Canada\u2019s beleaguered supply chain, expediting deliveries and reducing emissions. The National Research Council is funding more studies on drone delivery, the federal government has launched an implementation plan, and municipalities (like Waterloo, Ontario) are eager to establish their own routes ASAP.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Albertans_will_zip_to_work_on_magnets\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">4.\u00a0<\/span>Albertans will zip to work on magnets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\">Move aside, Elon Musk: Canada is set to get its own high-speed hyperloop. The FluxJet, produced by Toronto-based transportation-tech firm TransPod, promises to shuttle passengers between Calgary and Edmonton in pods that magnetically levitate in a vacuum tube at speeds of up to 1,000 kilometres an hour. The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> will take just 45 minutes and cost 44 per cent less than a plane ticket. TransPod is currently focused on buying up land and conducting environmental assessments, and a 10-kilometre track is scheduled to be operational by 2027. If this all sounds a little far-fetched, the company has already secured $550 million from international investors, and also expects that governments will partially fund the project, estimated at $18 billion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Quebec_will_buzz_with_electric_air_taxis\"><\/span><b>5. Quebec will buzz with electric air taxis<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\">Here\u2019s one sign that the not-so-distant future might resemble a <i>Jetsons <\/i>episode: electric air taxis could arrive in Montreal as early as 2026. The Quebec aerospace and aviation-component manufacturer Vertiko Mobility has partnered with Texas-based aircraft builder Jaunt Air Mobility to bring 70 of their eVTOL (or electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft to La Belle Province. Each vehicle can hold one pilot and four passengers, has a driving range of 195 kilometres and resembles a mashup of a helicopter and a turboprop. Vertiko is set to kick off full-scale testing next year. To make such flights possible, Montreal company VPorts plans to build 1,500 terminals (or \u201cvertiports\u201d) in cities around the world.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Northern_Quebec_will_lead_the_EV_revolution\"><\/span><b>6. Northern Quebec will lead the EV revolution<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">One of the bigger snags in the EV boom has been how to source the hard-to-find raw materials (like lithium) required for batteries. China currently dominates the rare-earth supply chain\u2014a fact both Ottawa and Washington believe will change with the upcoming opening of the North American Lithium Project, a mine in Que<\/span><span class=\"s3\">bec northwest of Montreal. When the <\/span><span class=\"s4\">facility opens, it will be just the second re<\/span><span class=\"s2\">liable source of lithium in North America;<\/span> better still, it\u2019s a green dream, operating on hydro electricity and recycling water <span class=\"s2\">to separate minerals. The federal government has announced plans to pour $3.8 billion into the Canadian mining industry <\/span>over the next decade. All that investment is already paying dividends, with the Dutch car company Stellantis breaking ground on a $5-billion-plus EV-battery factory in Windsor, Ontario\u2014and creating 2,500 jobs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_7_Future_astronauts_will_train_in_northern_Ontario\"><\/span><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><b>7.

Aspiring rocketpeople will occupy inflatable domes for between two weeks and three months at a time to mentally prepare for the challenges of isolation. The company is also set to open an innovation hub, with the goal of building more interest in STEM disciplines among Canadian youth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Canadian_med-tech_will_improve_remote_health_care\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">8. <\/span><b>Canadian med-tech will improve remote health care<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">Recently, the Canada Space Agency and the feds were wondering how to keep space travellers in tip-top shape during long interplanetary trips\u2014so they launched a contest. Among the 20 ideas shortlisted as semifinalists were wearables that monitor and diagnose respiratory and cardiac issues, an AI-powered virtual medical assistant and an ultra-light MRI machine. In 2023, we\u2019ll see proofs of concept and a list of finalists. In addition to their lofty deep-space applications, the winning technologies will help solve issues closer to home, particularly in remote communities within Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_A_Toronto_company_will_churn_out_self-driving_vehicles\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">9. <\/span><b>A Toronto company will churn out self-driving vehicles<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\">Waabi is poised to make driver\u200bless cars a reality.

Waabi\u2019s secret sauce is what it calls \u201cthe world\u2019s most advanced simulator,\u201d which limits the need for real-world test drives, and thereby lowers risks to innocent bystanders. Waabi\u2019s self-driving AI <span class=\"s2\">brain also has the intuition and flexibility<\/span> to make decisions in the face of surprise scenarios. Eager buyers abound, including members of the $800-billion trucking industry, which is in dire need of long-haul solutions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10Internet_speeds_will_accelerate_by_a_factor_of_10\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">10.<\/span><b>Internet speeds will accelerate by a factor of 10<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\">Despite the prolonged controversies surrounding the effects of 5G internet\u2014political<\/span> and otherwise\u2014Ottawa is already moving ahead with R&amp;D for 6G, its much-hyped <span class=\"s4\">successor. The excitement is warranted: 6G would introduce speed capabilities roughly 100 times faster than 5G. It could also lead to the development of more advanced machine learning and more immersive<\/span> experiences in the metaverse. That\u2019s on Canadian schools and tech firms to figure out by 2030, when the technology is expected to roll out.<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">This story is part of our annual \u201cYear Ahead\u201d guide.
