appointed Mr. Amir Farahi to the Board of Directors.

Affairs consultant. He is the Principal at Blackridge Strategy Inc.

Southwestern Ontario. Blackridge has established a strong working
relationship with all three levels of government in Canada,
Federal, Provincial and Municipal, and has a solid track record
with its clients in real estate, construction, labour, health care,
and heavy industrial industries.
Amir was a senior advisor to Fanshawe College
and was instrumental on the establishment of its innovation centre
which led to the creation of Fanshawe’s Innovation Village i4C Hub
in Q4 2018. This is a one stop centralized shop that supports and
provides services through the Centre for Research and Innovation,
the Library research team, the Canadian Centre for Product
Validation, Centre for Advanced Research in Biotechnology and LEAP
junction to innovators on campus.
Amir was a columnist for 3 years for Metroland
Media Group, a subsidiary of TorStar Corporation and his
columns were amongst the top read every year as ranked by the
editorial team. He was a political commentator for Bell Media Inc.
and has appeared regularly on Newstalk 1290 CJBK radio and CTV News
in London. He was also Chair of the City of London’s Transportation
Advisory Committee at a time when the City was planning a $500
million investment to implement Bus Rapid Transit. The project is
part of the City’s 2030 Transportation Masterplan which is
currently being implemented.
Amir is the Executive Director of the London
Institute, an organization that in partnership with Farhi Holdings
Corporation, TechAlliance and London’s Small Business Centre, has
planned a $31.5 million entrepreneurship centre, (180,000 square
feet) the largest in Southwestern Ontario. The entrepreneurship
centre’s services will be built around TechAlliance (Regional
Innovation Centre) and the London Small Business Centre, who will
both be moving into the building’s first floor to provide
entrepreneurs with one-stop access to supports, services, and
workshops. TechAlliance will house its Immersive Digital
Experiences Accelerator (IDEA) providing incubation and
acceleration for the next generation of local video game developers
and BURST for high-potential medical technology startups and
scale-ups that will position London as a focal point for life
sciences innovation. BURST provides intensive support to 30
companies, including approximately $3 million in cash and in-kind
support.
Amir was also a Co-founder of FillSpaces
Technologies Inc., which was a recipient of Ontario Centre of
Excellence funding for its artificial intelligence and machine
learning applications to its sales verticals and marketing
channels. The company was funded by Western University’s business
incubator (Propel) and accelerator.
Amir has a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
from Western University. During his time at Western University,
Amir founded the King’s University College Undergraduate Research
Journal, a peer-reviewed publication by faculty showcasing four of
the top research papers by students.
Mr. Farahi stated, “I am pleased to be joining
the dynaCERT board at this important juncture of its growth. The
company has a positive outlook as it expands into the North
American, European, Middle Eastern, South Asian and South American
markets. dynaCERT’s proprietary technology and the breadth of
its patent portfolio is groundbreaking. My background in government
relations, business development and public relations will help the
company expand its public attention. I look forward to assisting
dynaCERT with government relations and transactions while
diligently focusing on driving an aggressive sales trajectory.”
Jim Payne, CEO of dynaCERT, commented, “Amir
brings to our board a great penetration in relationships,
furthering our existing Southwestern Ontario and other Canadian and
international sales endeavours. Amir’s experience, public
profile and relationships can be highly contributory to
dynaCERT’s strengths and goals, being recognized as Canada’s
leading Carbon Emission Reduction Technology Company. I trust that
Amir’s renowned background will integrate very well with our highly
dedicated Board of Directors and our appropriately focused Advisory
Board which continues to establish dynaCERT’s expanding
international profile in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing
fuel efficiencies world-wide.”
