Since 2012, his company’s AI- driven content moderation platform has been identifying and preventing harmful online behaviour, including cyberbullying, abuse, hate speech, violent threats and child exploitation, all while enforcing rules of conduct in online communities.

“Some of the largest companies in the world trust our team to keep their users safe,” Priebe explains. “We now process over 100 billion human interactions every month. To put it in perspective, that’s six times the reported size of Twitter.”

Two Hat’s success was recognized in 2017 when they were awarded the largest MITACS cluster grant of over three million dollars to work with universities.

“We looked all over Canada for leading universities to partner with, and to our surprise, one of our best has been here at home with UBC Okanagan.”

Most recently, the World Economic Forum selected Two Hat as one of its most promising Technology Pioneers of 2020 for its groundbreaking platform, offering the opportunity to engage with other industry leaders and work with public and private experts.

When asked about the infrastructure in place to help get his organization off the ground, Priebe credits the many programs designed to support start-ups here in the Okanagan. “Accelerate Okanagan has definitely been a great friend and supporter of Two Hat and our mission,” says Priebe. “I was still in my basement when I heard about AO and their programs. They helped us get our first desks, a mentor, community services, as well as legal and accounting firms who volunteered and helped get us set up. It would have cost thousands of dollars to hire any of their services and here they all were giving me amazing deals.”

Since 2009, Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM) has provided customer-driven solutions to the global aviation industry. AEM is  a leader in the design, development, and manufacture of airframe crack detection compliance sensors for the commercial aviation industry, as well as aircraft communication systems, loudspeaker systems, mission radios, avionics consoles and caution/warning panels for special mission operators.

With a long history of avionics manufacturing in Kelowna, the AEM team and its brand have earned an impeccable reputation and trust with its customers. AEM was originally founded to fill a critical aerospace need created when a large avionics manufacturer closed its doors and chose to move its operations from Kelowna. With several highly rated and reliable avionics products set to no longer to be produced, despite considerable customer need, a group of dedicated employees formed AEM and signed licensing agreements to continue producing these critical electrical components at the original location.

AEM takes pride in its origin story; however, it has shifted gears in the past few years ramping up development and production of its own special mission IP products. Despite continuing to provide contract manufacturing to a select group of aerospace customers, AEM is laser-focused on developing new products and enhancing existing solutions.

Today, AEM is an approved OEM supplier to aircraft manufacturers such as Bell, Boeing, Leonardo, Airbus Helicopters and Sikorsky. Out of their 40,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Kelowna’s north end, more than 100 skilled people design, develop and manufacture sophisticated avionics products for aerial law enforcement, aerial firefighting, utility, air medical and airborne search and rescue agencies around the world

The growing business also develops, manufactures, sells, and supports Comparative Vacuum Monitoring (CVM™) smart sensor technology and equipment, which help commercial airlines meet structural airframe crack detection and inspection requirements. Working in collaboration with Delta Air Lines and Boeing, CVM™ is the first FAA approved airframe crack detection compliance sensor solution for use on select 737 aircraft.

“We’re considered a small to medium sized business,” explains COO Taylor Wylie. “We operate in a niche market, so most of our products compete with only two or three key competitors. We are extremely proud to be part of an influential community of aerospace companies right here in the Okanagan.”

AEM is a wholly owned subsidiary of SMS Canada Corp, part of the Structural Monitoring Systems plc (ASX Code: SMN) companies (smsystems.com.au).

“The aerospace industry has become a key economic driver in the region and Kelowna is an attractive place for emerging talent looking to develop their careers. We find that many non-local applicants want to move here because of the relaxed, vacation-style setting in a growing city full of opportunity.”
