Nditive

Nditive (also referred to as NDITIVE Technologies) is a St. John's, Newfoundland-based company developing real-time environmental and industrial monitoring technology. Its stack combines patent-pending gas sensing hardware with a SaaS-based digital twin platform, enabling continuous measurement of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in industrial settings. The company positions this against traditional monitoring approaches that rely on secondary data sources such as utility billing records and periodic manual reporting, which it describes as introducing inaccuracy and delay.

Beyond the sensing element itself, Nditive designs its hardware and software end to end in house, including a low-power energy harvester and proprietary gateways that interoperate with its platform. The company frames the resulting insights around helping industrial operators manage Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, meet environmental compliance requirements, and improve operational efficiency and safety. It maps its offering to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7, 9, 12 and 13.

Founding story

The company grew out of a more than decade-long professional relationship between Dr. Salar Salahi (CEO and co-founder), who holds a PhD in mechanical engineering and has a background in industrial management and manufacturing process optimization, and Dr. Seyed Nabavi (CTO and co-founder), who holds a PhD in electrical engineering and has developed patents in wearable device and sensor technologies. The two met during their master's studies and later identified the reliance of existing industrial emissions monitoring on secondary data such as billing information as an opportunity, combining Salahi's operational experience with Nabavi's sensor design and IP expertise to build a patent-pending gas sensor paired with a digital twin platform.

Business model

Hardware-plus-software: proprietary gas sensors, energy harvesters and gateways sold alongside a SaaS-based digital twin platform that delivers monitoring data and analytics to industrial operators.

SaaS-based digital twin platform paired with proprietary sensing hardware and gateways.

Traction

Initiated pilot projects with industry participants including Atlantic XL and Firefly Metals, alongside offshore operators. As of November 2024 the company described advancing from concept toward a full product launch within about six months. In June 2025 it was raising a US$250,000 round, of which US$150,000 had been secured.

Latest developments

Selected for the Techstars Sustainability Paris accelerator and profiled by Techstars in November 2024. In June 2025 the company was named among the Atlantic Canadian finalists in Profitual's first No-Pitch Competition, a Canada-wide contest judged on startups' financial models that drew 120 qualified submissions, and was reported to be raising a US$250,000 round with US$150,000 secured.
