About Innovation Peer
Know what you need before you talk to a supplier.
Innovation Peer helps industrial teams turn process problems into structured automation projects before supplier conversations begin. Automation Project Studio combines guided intake, preliminary economics, readiness and risk assessment, required delivery-team logic, and buyer-controlled project documentation.
Innovation Peer is a Canadian commercialization and technology scouting firm. We connect robotics, IoT, AI, and advanced manufacturing technologies with Canadian industrial organizations across agriculture, automotive, construction, energy, manufacturing, mining, logistics, food processing, and other industrial operations.
What Innovation Peer does
- Technology discovery across robotics, IoT, AI, and advanced manufacturing
- Automation project scoping and preliminary assessment
- Business case and supplier-ready project documentation
- Partnership development for industrial technology adoption
- Market entry support for industrial technology suppliers
- Canadian industrial automation context and review
Why we built Automation Project Studio
Industrial teams often know there is an automation opportunity, but they may not know:
- whether the process is ready for automation
- what operational data is still missing
- what a preliminary business case could look like
- what delivery roles are required to execute the project
- what suppliers would need before quoting or scoping
Automation Project Studio helps teams describe process challenges, explore Technology Pathways, complete AI-guided project intake, generate preliminary assessments, build internal decision documents, prepare supplier-ready scope, and request Innovation Peer project review — while controlling whether project information is shared with automation suppliers.
Buyer-first trust model
- Project data is private by default
- No supplier contact without customer approval
- No public supplier rankings or pay-to-rank recommendations
- Human review before supplier-facing outputs where applicable
- Generated outputs are preliminary planning artifacts — not final engineering or safety sign-off
Canadian industrial focus
Innovation Peer is based in Toronto and initially focused on Canadian industrial companies, including manufacturing, logistics, mining, construction, energy, food processing, machine shops, metal fabrication, and other industrial operations.
Leadership and experience
Innovation Peer is led by Farzad Amighi and draws on experience in industrial innovation, technology development, commercialization, and partner development. The platform reflects that background — structured scouting and adoption support, not a generic supplier marketplace.
