Utilizing its unique wind pitch motor technology, Ventium, whose nameisacombination of Latin words for wind (Ventus) and power (Imperium), increases the reliability and efficiency of wind turbines, which means an increase in energy production. Over time, increased wind energy production will displace fossil fuel electricity generation resulting in significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, increased efficiency of wind turbines reduces the cost of wind energy, making investments in clean wind energy more attractive.
The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, commented, “Canadian entrepreneurs are leading the global shift to a stronger, greener and more resilient economy. Today’s investments will enable cleantech innovators across multiple sectors to commercialize their ideas, helping Canada meet its 2030 climate commitments and reach net-zero emissions by 2050, providing a more sustainable future for all Canadians.”
Leah Lawrence, President and CEO of SDTC, said, “Enedym’s technology has the potential to make wind turbines an even more effective source of sustainable electricity. SDTC is proud to support Canadian entrepreneurs, like Enedym, who are leading the global effort in developing solutions and driving the innovation that will move us towards a greener and prosperous future.”
Dr. Ali Emadi, Founder, President, and CEO of Enedym, commented, “We wish to thank SDTC for their continued support toward the advancement and commercialization of our next-generation wind pitch motor system for wind turbines, Ventium. Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies today, and Enedym believes it is a critical tool in creating a sustainable future for all. Enedym’s Ventium system makes wind turbines more efficient, more affordable, and can make a significant contribution to solving climate change challenges. Through our partnership with SDTC, as well as with support from our consortium of industry partners, we can reach our collective goal to ensure wind power infrastructure can run more efficiently, reliably, and economically.”
Enedym’s consortium partners for the development of the Ventium system, in addition to collaborations with several of the largest wind owners and operators globally, include:
Smartricity Inc. (Ballinafad, ON)
JFE Shoji Power Canada Inc. (Burlington, ON)
IEC Holden (Montreal, QC)
WECS RENEWABLES (Palm Springs, CA)
Innovative Thermal Solutions Inc. (Waterloo, ON)
EECOMobility (Hamilton, ON)
Michael Sonsogno, CEO of Smartricity, commented, “Wind pitch systems are one of the largest reliability concerns in a wind turbine, with regular failures occurring on both the motor and traditional DC converter. Smartricity is very excited to join forces with Enedym to bring Ventium to the market as it directly addresses all of the pain points in the existing pitch systems and solves them using state-of-the-art SRM technology from Enedym.”

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
