Edmonton, Alberta (March 3, 2026) — Our communities are facing unprecedented problems, made even more complex by their existence in regional, national, and global contexts.

RUNWITHIT Synthetics Inc. (RWI), a world leader in applied Synthetic Twin technologies, is launching Synthetic Canada: a high-fidelity 6D sandbox of the country (3D GIS, Context, Time, & People agentic entity AI) for industry, governments, and communities to see, solve, and operationalize investments and decisions related to emergency management, the environment and climate change, infrastructure, housing, major projects, energy transition, policy, defense and security, and technology. 

In Synthetic Canada, users overlay and explore the intersection of all of the elements of the built environment, including transportation, grid infrastructure, and natural environment, in real-time, from global to national to regional contexts, all through an intuitive interface. 

In addition, Synthetic Canada contains a representative synthetic population, ensuring the human element is never left behind in decision-making, with data spanning demographics, economics, and health conditions, using never-identified data.

“Today, leaders in many nations are challenged by extraordinary and dynamic landscapes,” says RWI CEO and Co-founder Myrna Bittner. “Whether it is national security, climate, economics, critical resources and infrastructure, or even the health futures of their people, the high-fidelity decision-support sandbox capability demonstrated by Synthetic Canada is a welcome addition.”

 
 
 

Unique Factors of Synthetic Canada

  • 6 Dimensions: An advanced 6D generative AI platform that transforms cities and regions into detailed 3D models enriched with time (4D), context (5D), and hyperlocalized population data (6D).

  • Speed: The ability to rapidly create synthetic twin environments for immediate use.

  • Versatility of Deployment/User-Friendly: The technology can be deployed in the field and used on a laptop or tablet, embedded on the edge, in the cloud, or on-prem.

  • Energy Consumption: Uses a fraction of power and water compared to data center or cloud-based solutions

  • Security: Data is stored within Canada.

 

The Tech Behind Synthetic Canada

To create Synthetic Canada — a synthesized version of all the individuals and households in Canada, with demographic and geographic accuracy within 5% — ChatGPT estimated it would require 3,000,000 litres of water, 1,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and 1,500 kg of CO2e.

INFLECTOR AI completed the same task using just 3 kWh of electricity, around 6 litres of water, and generating only 100 to 200 g of CO₂e.

INFLECTOR AI enables Synthetic Canada and other live simulations of complex systems, including cities, regions, and nations, with fully synthetic populations, running on everything from enterprise servers to your average consumer laptop.

“Synthetic Canada is a complete population and related data for an entire country that we bring to life in our dynamic and interactive environments, on a scale enabled by the computational efficiency of our InflectorAI technology and experienced in our RWI Holodeck,” says RWI CTO and Co-founder Dean Bittner.

“This initiative is the start of our roadmap that places our entire software platform into the hands of teams making high-stakes and future-oriented decisions in defence, enterprise and at national levels.”

Synthetic Canada and INFLECTOR AI is the result of over 30 years of design and implementation, validated by a range of scientific and engineering organizations, including ESRI, NRC, NASA JPL, NSF and IEEE, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, and proven by over 50 profitable and successful deployments with customers over the last decade, synthesizing hundreds of cities and tens of millions of synthetic individuals.
