Alarm bells are sounding.    Polish President Andrzej Duda has recently called for all NATO member states to increase their defence spending to 3% of GDP. The reason for his remarks is obvious, if Vladimir Putin succeeds in Ukraine, Poland will be among the next to be invaded.  Yet today, of the 32 NATO members, only 10 are meeting or exceeding the current 2% GDP target requirement. Canada is among those who are not, with only 1.3% of Canada’s $1.93 trillion gross domestic product (or $36.7 billion) being [&hellip;]
- [Getting from Lab to Market: The Ingenious Story of 3D BioFibR](https://enginuityinc.ca/product-design/getting-from-lab-to-market/): Back in 1997, the public reaction upon first seeing the Vacanti Mouse (the laboratory mouse who appeared to have an ear grown on its back) was a mix of shock and fascination. The striking image spawned several concerning, yet rather ill-informed protests. But once the dust settled, the experiment conducted by Dr. Charles Vacanti had successfully proved the point.   The tissue engineer and anesthesiologist had not set out to actually grow a human ear (it was actually just tissue shaped as an ear), but rather demonstrate the possibility of creating a complex, three-dimensional structure from living cells using a biodegradable [&hellip;]

- [The Tide Is High - Why Good Connections are Necessary in Business and at Sea](https://enginuityinc.ca/industrial-marine/the-tide-is-high-why-good-connections-are-necessary-in-business-and-at-sea/): The unfortunate events surrounding a decommissioned tidal turbine barge in the Bay of Fundy offer a sobering insight into the risks inherent to this burgeoning technology. But it is not all in vain. There are many lessons to learn that will inevitably make this unharnessed renewable a viable source of power for generations to come.  
- [Deep. Well. Connected. The Importance of Trust and B2B Alignment](https://enginuityinc.ca/industrial-marine/importance-of-trust-b2b-alignment/): When seas get rough, you need a partner on who you can depend.     James Fisher Decommissioning (JFD) (and their innovative SEABASS™) tool is well positioned to be the world leader in subsea infrastructure removal, well severance and ocean remediation. By Incorporating Enginuity’s patented SEA-Lift™ into the SEABASS design, JFD ensures that the mission can be immediately aborted safely and that all crew can come back to finish the job another day.  
- [Hand in Hand with CleanBands](https://enginuityinc.ca/articles/cleanbands/): Discover CleanBands, the innovative solution born from David Iwankow’s vision to revolutionize hand hygiene in the food industry. Tackling the pervasive issue of inadequate hand washing, CleanBands is a wearable wristband that visually signals the frequency of hand washes for food handlers.      CleandBands engaged Enginuity in the design, development, and multiple iterations of both the idea and the product. This partnership led to the refinement and viability of a product that will ensure a future where you can be assured your food is prepared with the cleanest of hands.

- [Designing for Harsh Marine Environments and Ocean Technology](https://enginuityinc.ca/industrial-marine/designing-harsh-marine-environments-ocean-technology/): Enginuity’s story began the same way that Atlantic Canada has developed into becoming a region with world-class ocean capabilities – with Ben Garvey, Founder and President, growing up on and around boats. From those first projects working on towed sonar arrays, winches and launch and retrieval systems, to today where we are putting robots on boats and designing in-ocean communications devices, we’ve always had an affinity for designing for the Marine Environment.
- [The Sky is Not the Limit: Mechanical Engineering, Design, and Finite Element Analysis](https://enginuityinc.ca/articles/the-sky-is-not-the-limit-mechanical-engineering-design-finite-element-analysis/): “I think there’s nothing we can’t do. If you give us time and budget, we have the people to really dig into any problem and figure it out. It’s a very talented group, and we have a very broad skill set. I really, firmly believe that not even the sky is the limit – I think we could probably design a rocket and shoot it off to space. As long as it’s physically possible, we’ll find a design that works.” 
- [Can Robotics and Automation Solve Atlantic Canada's Labour Shortage?](https://enginuityinc.ca/whitepaper/solving-labour-shortage-with-robotics-automation/): Atlantic Canada is facing a labour shortage issue that is not altogether unique in North America, but has been exacerbated due many smaller, often distinct but accumulating reasons. What can a company do when they are losing employees and do not have anyone to fill the gap? They could find people, or as will be explored in this whitepaper, automate the tasks they were doing.
- [UX and its role in Industrial Design](https://enginuityinc.ca/industrial-design/ux-in-industrial-design/): User experience (UX) design has become quite prevalent in the world of product development. Despite its recent popularity there is still much confusion as to what it actually is. So, where is all the confusion coming from? And where does it actually fall among the many terms attempting to define specific design fields? Better yet, how does UX design work within engineering?

- [How Enginuity is Changing the Engineering Landscape](https://enginuityinc.ca/articles/how-enginuity-is-changing-the-engineering-landscape/): When I asked Ben Garvey how he came up with the idea to start a company like Enginuity, he had a simple answer — he didn’t. It wasn’t a single idea that started it; but rather a string of events brought upon by curiosity, and the desire to answer needs beyond the problems that preceded them. Much like its inception, this is still what Enginuity stands for today: an innovative, creative, and holistic approach to Engineering.
