OneKind AI Selected for Canada's AI Compute Access Fund
Among 44 Canadian companies — selected from more than 1,300 applicants — under Canada's Sovereign AI Compute Strategy. OneKind pitched ORIGIN, our sovereign-stack platform for AI-originated clinical endpoints in animal pharma.
The Government of Canada today announced support for 44 projects through the AI Compute Access Fund — representing $66 million of the $300 million fund — with OneKind AI selected to receive $663,907 in compute infrastructure support for its ORIGIN platform.
The fund, administered by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) and launched under Canada's Sovereign AI Compute Strategy, helps Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises offset the cost of the high-performance computing required to build and scale AI products. Applications were assessed through a competitive process based on technical feasibility, commercialization potential, risk level, and anticipated benefits to Canada.
About ORIGIN — the Platform We Pitched
ORIGIN is OneKind AI's sovereign-stack platform for AI-originated clinical endpoints in companion animal pharmaceutical development. Built on Canadian compute with data residency as a default rather than an afterthought, ORIGIN converts continuous behavioural data into validated, audit-ready evidence for regulated pharma studies.
The compute support funded under this program directly underwrites the training and scaling of ORIGIN's evidence-integrity pipeline.
“AI is not just a technology of the future. It is already helping Canadian companies solve real problems, improve services, create products and compete globally. But to build with AI, companies need access to compute power. Through the AI Compute Access Fund, we are helping Canadian businesses get the processing power they need to scale, create jobs, transform industries and keep more of the value they create here in Canada.”
