   "Expansion and modernization of facilities: the project aims to increase the production capacity of the company, which designs and manufactures specialized mobile equipment for the heavy industry sector.",
   "The firm intends to offer new conveyor solutions dedicated to aluminum smelters that will run on electric power, thus reducing greenhouse gases during plant operations. The main aim of this project is to electrify the systems and integrate the required features within the defined geometric footprint. Since the overall dimensions of the battery and motor systems will be an issue, the development team will have to optimize volumes while ensuring that the integrity of the structures is preserved, and offer performance similar to that of a diesel vehicle.",
   "Development and integration of a navigation system for a self-guided industrial vehicle.",
   "The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors."
