OceanStar Technologies Showcases Smart Aquaculture Innovation at CanadianSME Small Business Summit 2026

Toronto, Ontario

OceanStar Technologies participated as an exhibitor at the CanadianSME Small Business Summit 2026, held on October 13 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) in downtown Toronto. The event provided an opportunity for the Canadian technology company to introduce its smart aquaculture solutions, demonstrate its technology, and connect with potential customers interested in innovation and digital transformation.

Under the theme “Beyond AI: Building Intelligent, Resilient, and Human-Centred Canadian SMEs,” the summit brought together entrepreneurs, business leaders, technology providers, and industry professionals to explore practical ways to strengthen Canadian businesses through technology and collaboration.

Connecting Smart Aquaculture with Canada's Innovation Ecosystem

The CanadianSME Small Business Summit is an annual gathering focused on helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) identify growth opportunities, explore emerging technologies, and build stronger business relationships. Its program featured keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, workshops, technology exhibits, and networking opportunities.

For OceanStar Technologies, participating as a booth exhibitor was an opportunity to introduce its technology to a broader business audience and demonstrate how intelligent monitoring and automation can address operational challenges in modern aquaculture.

As fish producers increasingly seek better operational visibility, reliable water quality monitoring, and more efficient resource management, technology is becoming an important part of building resilient aquaculture operations. OceanStar's participation reflected its commitment to developing practical, technology-driven solutions for the Canadian aquaculture industry.

Demonstrating AI-Powered Aquaculture Monitoring Technology

OceanStar Technologies develops a smart aquaculture platform designed to help operators monitor and manage recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). The platform combines industrial IoT sensors, connected hardware, cloud-based analytics, and machine learning to turn water quality data into actionable operational insights.

The system monitors six key water quality parameters: pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, temperature, and water level. Measurements are collected continuously, allowing operators to follow changing conditions and identify potential issues that may require attention.

At the core of the hardware system is the OST-MAIN-01 central hub, which connects sensors and supports Wi-Fi or LTE connectivity. Its built-in relay outputs can also support automated responses involving equipment such as aerators, pumps, heaters, and alarms.

By bringing monitoring, predictive alerts, historical data analysis, and equipment automation together, OceanStar aims to help aquaculture operators move beyond reactive management toward more informed, proactive operations.

Visitors interested in the technology can learn more about the OceanStar Smart Aquaculture Platform and explore the company's live platform demonstration.

OceanStar Technologies looks forward to continuing conversations with aquaculture producers, technology partners, and industry stakeholders working toward smarter, more resilient aquaculture operations in Canada.
