COVE congratulates Hexsor Scientific Canada Inc. on being awarded Cleantech Company of the Year by Corporate LiveWire as part of the 2025 Innovation & Excellence Awards.
This recognition highlights Hexsor’s outstanding contributions to sustainable technologies and environmental innovation—an achievement rooted in their international expansion and successful collaborations in Canada.
In 2023, UK-based Hexsor Scientific joined the COVE and Innovate UK Global Incubator Programme: Ocean ScaleUp Accelerator, spending ten months at COVE to refine and validate their innovative air quality monitoring technology. Through COVE’s infrastructure and network, they established a critical partnership with Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) and laid the foundation for growth in Canada’s ocean tech sector.
Following their time at COVE, Hexsor registered as a small business in Nova Scotia and, in 2024, secured a contract with Thales Canada after winning the Clean Air in Ships Challenge under the Naval Technology Innovation Challenges. Their collaboration with NSCC was further supported through Invest Nova Scotia’s Tier 1 Productivity and Innovation Voucher, helping advance applied research and talent development.
This award not only celebrates Hexsor’s global impact but also the power of cross-border collaboration in accelerating clean, dual-use innovation. COVE is proud to have supported Hexsor’s Canadian journey and looks forward to their continued success in shaping a more sustainable future.
