Happy Holidays from all of us here at Artemis Canada. We hope this season brings you joy and relaxation as you create memories with loved ones.
The past few months have been challenging for many organizations. And while there is news of layoffs across tech ecosystems in Canada, many companies continue to hire. For those who have been impacted by the recent layoffs, Communitech continues to provide support with The Help List - a community-powered initiative that puts displaced Canadian tech workers in front of companies looking to hire. We're here to support too, please reach out so we can help to provide some guidance and market insights.

TECH FOR GOOD: NFINITE
It’s client love time, where we highlight one of our incredible clients: what they do, why we’re excited to partner with them, the good they’re putting into the world, and what we’re currently working on together!
Nfinite Nanotech is on a mission to bring sustainability to CPG companies (and help you snack sustainably, too!). Over 300M tonnes of plastic waste are produced each year. Less than 10% is actually recycled, and the rest ends up in landfills or the ocean.
Here’s why: Fully recyclable + compostable packaging doesn’t preserve food well, so CPG companies opt to use partially recyclable packaging and avoid compostable packaging. Nfinite Nanotech has the solution: They’ve created a thin nanocoating layer that CPG companies can add to fully compostable + recyclable packaging that preserves food freshness. Bonus: It’s easily integrated into existing production lines at high speed and low cost. In other words? Their nanocoating layer makes it feasible for CPG companies to use compostable/fully recyclable packaging. That means you can enjoy your fresh, crunchy chips and compost the bag after, knowing that the packaging won’t end up in oceans or landfills.
We are huge believers of the work this team is doing to fight the plastic crisis. That’s why we’ve partnered with the founders of Nfinite Nanotech (two Penn State and University of Waterloo grads) to help them build their team… stay tuned for next month, we’ll share some good news!
