RE:RE:RE:2023 could be an interesting year.... so for clarity this was a 2022 call for proposals...
...however, such a massive RFP could take 6 months to a year to complete the evaluation and award contracts... so it is extremely plausible that this is still in play...
...even more exciting which crypto no doubt pick up is the following taken from the page
"
. Introduction
Working together, the governments of Canada and South Korea aim to foster and support collaborative industrial research and development (R&D) projects with a high potential for commercialization. This call for proposals is open to organizations from Canada and South Korea who wish to form project consortia to perform collaborative projects focussed on developing innovative products, processes, or technology-based services in advanced manufacturing, clean technologies, digital technologies, health and bio-sciences, smart cities, and hydrogen technologies sectors."

Sectors of focus This call for proposals is open to projects in the following sectors:
- Advanced manufacturing, including smart factory and smart manufacturing, advanced materials, automotive manufacturing, robotics and automation
- Clean technologies, including water and waste water management, smart grid and energy storage, battery-related technologies, renewable energy, smart cities, and hydrogen technologies
- Digital technologies, including artificial intelligence for industry, cyber security, smart vehicles, and smart cities
- Health and bio-sciences, including pharmaceuticals, digital health, medical devices and mobile health"
.... looks as though DM would be 4 for 4 here...
...Here are the elegibility requirements...

Eligibility requirements
To be considered for funding, applicants must form a project consortium and develop a collaborative research and development (R&D) project that meets the following criteria:
4.1 Canadian applicant
- The Canadian applicant must:
- be an incorporated, profit-oriented small or medium-sized business in Canada
- have 500 or fewer full-time equivalent employees
- pursue growth and profit by developing and commercializing innovative, technology-driven new or improved products, services or processes in Canada
- have a differentiated and protectable technology that could become competitive in global markets
- have sufficient working capital and resources to undertake a multi-year R&D collaboration and commercialize the results
- be committed to significant growth through international market expansion

4.2 Consortium
- The project consortium must include at least:

... Again looks like DM fits the bill for the Canadian company and they have South Korean partners...
