P3F at the G7 Summit with an AI innovation in aviation safety Français
BLAINVILLE, QC, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - P3F is proud to announce that one of its projects, developed in collaboration with Mila, Nolinor Aviation, CIRRUS Intelligence and the NRC, has been selected by Mila as the only project involving an SME to be showcased at the G7 Summit on Innovation. This artificial intelligence solution, designed to transform the management of aviation safety investigations, highlights Quebec's technological expertise on an international stage.
Working closely with Mila, Nolinor Aviation, and CIRRUS Intelligence, P3F provided the technical support needed to meet the rigorous demands of the aviation sector. P3F notably designed the architecture of this cutting-edge solution, structuring the automated processing of incident reports, integrating advanced AI modules developed by Mila, and ensuring a secure and high-performance framework for intelligent, fast event analysis.
"This project clearly demonstrates that AI can address real-world operational needs. Collaborating with Mila and a major player like Nolinor was a rewarding and stimulating experience. For P3F, it's a strong vote of confidence, and, above all, a stepping stone toward future projects." – Mathieu Duchesne, Manager and Partner, P3F
Thanks to this new tool, safety teams can significantly reduce the time spent on investigations. Several complex tasks, such as report structuring, barrier analysis, and reviewing technical documentation, will now be automated, allowing more time for interpretation and decision-making.
"The goal is for the process to be interactive—it's not designed for the language model to complete everything in one go. It's meant to allow back-and-forth exchanges, real interaction. In the end, the human remains responsible for the report." – Hadrien Bertrand, Senior Applied Research Scientist, Mila
The solution has already demonstrated its impact, reducing some analyses from 40 hours to approximately 5 hours of human involvement—a reduction of 80%. The next step is to begin commercialization across the aviation industry.
This project marks P3F's first venture into artificial intelligence, and the company is already working on other ambitious initiatives. To learn more or to discuss a custom project, visit p3f.ca/en/.

SutiSign Enhances eSignature Security with Intelligent ID Verification and 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 12, 2025 /CNW/ -- SutiSoft leads the way in providing intelligent, cloud-based solutions that transform how businesses operate in a digital world. Today, SutiSoft is excited to announce major enhancements to their electronic signature platform, SutiSign, now featuring dynamic Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 standards. These new features are designed to deliver a smarter, more secure eSigning experience for organizations handling sensitive information and operating under strict regulatory frameworks. With this update, SutiSoft continues its commitment to innovation by integrating intelligent identity verification and regulatory-grade audit capabilities into its already robust eSignature solution. Businesses in highly regulated industries, including healthcare, life sciences, and pharmaceuticals, can now meet compliance mandates while improving signer confidence and process integrity. "Trust and compliance are the foundation of successful digital transactions," said N.D. Reddy, CEO of SutiSoft, Inc."By introducing AI-powered identity verification and aligning with FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 standards, SutiSign helps businesses manage electronic signatures with confidence, security, and compliance built in from the start." The dynamic Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) feature uses AI to generate real-time, personalized challenge questions that verify signer identity before granting access to documents. Administrators can define the accuracy level required to pass authentication, set the number of allowed attempts, and control how often a signer can attempt to access the document. These controls ensure that only verified users can view and sign sensitive documents, significantly reducing fraud risk and enhancing security. SutiSign now fully supports 21 CFR Part 11, the FDA regulation that governs the use of electronic records and signatures. The online platform includes secure, time-stamped audit trails that cannot be altered, advanced authentication protocols, and reliable traceability of every action taken on a document. The platform now supports online notarization, allowing users to remotely notarize documents anytime through a trusted notary network. It also integrates with leading payment gateways like Square, Stripe, Clover, and others, enabling users to sign documents and process payments securely in a single step. With these enhancements, SutiSign continues to evolve as a robust, intelligent eSignature platform built for today's compliance-driven business landscape.

How to raise capital in uncertain times
In this series we tackle some of the thorniest questions facing business leaders today. The question: I've been working on a potentially revolutionary climate solution. The concept is very promising — it's a new approach in the carbon-removal realm — but to get to the next level, I need capital to develop this technology. When I've tried to pitch to potential investors, there's been some initial interest, but no actual bites so far. What am I doing wrong? — Stalled in Streetsville Dear Stalled, First of all, you're not alone. While it may not be reassuring to hear, early-stage Canadian ventures have had a particularly rough time attracting capital lately. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW In 2024, seed-stage investments were down nearly 50 per cent compared to the previous year ($510 million compared to $958 million), and the average pre-seed deal came out to about 64 per cent of the five-year norm. For climate startups, the struggle is even more real: between the second quarters of 2023 and 2024, funding dropped 69 per cent. But take heart: Canada's cleantech sector has seen some notable early-stage wins in recent months. One such example is Dispersa, a Quebec-based company that has developed a novel way to create sustainable surfactants (the class of chemicals responsible for the degreasing properties of cleaning products) using microbes. Earlier this year, Dispersa landed $5.8 million in seed funding. A key driver of that success, says Mary Dimou, general partner at Nàdarra Ventures, the investment firm that led the round of financing, was communication. 'If a team can clearly communicate both their science and their strategy to us, they stand out,' she says. Here, Dimou helps break down the elements of an effective early-stage pitch. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Know your timeline Pre-seed, seed and Series A funding is meant to provide startups with sufficient resources to help them develop a promising concept into a viable product. As many founders know, however, the path to market — honing a prototype, mapping out a customer base, determining distribution strategies — can be a moving target. That presents a challenge: how to accurately ballpark both the time it will take to reach key milestones and the capital required to get there. According to Dimou, the 'gold standard' for a round of fundraising is about two years of runway. 'If someone comes to me and says they're raising a million dollars, I'll ask right away, 'How long does that get your company through?' If they cannot tell me that it's around 24 months, or even a bit more, we have to restructure the round completely,' she says. Resist the temptation to overestimate how much time you're able to buy with a tranche of funding. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW While it may seem like a strategic way to reduce the perceived risk of investing in your venture, intentionally fudging the numbers will ultimately alienate funders and undermine your credibility. Err on the side of what's realistic — and explain your rationale. As Dimou explains, with certain companies in Nàdarra's portfolio, the firm increased the size of the round, put more of its own capital in the pot and invited more investors to join, as a way of ensuring that regardless of macroeconomic trends and potential adoption setbacks, a given venture 'is going to be ready to get through whatever milestones are required to get to a functional next round.' Have contingency plans in place Given the current geopolitical volatility and trade uncertainty, it's wise to work through all the what-ifs before you approach potential funders. If you're entirely reliant on the stability of a single supply chain — or your business plan hinges on a specific customer base in one territory — the smallest hiccup could tank your company. Dimou recommends walking investors through various scenarios, with at least two options for each stage of growth. 'Provide us with a high-level assessment of how the costs or the timelines could change based on those types of changes,' she says. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Be strategic about timing It's one thing to tell someone why they should invest in your company — it's another thing to explain why they should invest in your company at this particular moment in time. In Dispersa's case, it was the company's ability to make a compelling argument in the latter category that sealed the deal. 'So many founders right now are leading with their tech versus leading with their timing,' Dimou says. 'We want to hear why the solution matters right now, not just in the future.' Although regulatory hurdles can be the bane of a founder's existence, savvy entrepreneurs — especially those developing sustainable solutions — may be able to leverage those constraints as opportunities. Dispersa is a notable example of how regulation can create markets, Dimou explains. With the EU's updated guidelines for deforestation-free products set to take effect in December of this year, palm oil–derived surfactants (which have often been used as greener swaps for synthetic chemical cleaning products) will be off the table; the FDA's restrictions on dioxins in the U.S. mean that American manufacturers may be compelled to find non-toxic alternatives. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW The upshot: more demand for cleaner cleaning components. 'Generally speaking, when regulations come into play, corporate buyers have about five years to make changes to their products,' says Dimou. 'As a founder or as an investor, you want to make sure your ramp-up cycle aligns with how long it takes to go through that process.' Talk to the right people For cleantech startups looking to raise capital, the challenges are baked into the sector: Few VCs have the specialized knowledge to grasp the finer nuances of first-of-a-kind technologies, which also typically require pre-market timelines that far exceed the comfort levels of most funds. It's critical that founders reach out to advisors who can help them determine the best path forward — especially when they're facing a host of different options. Dimou has seen this firsthand. 'When you've created something really cool, it can sometimes do a lot of cool things,' she says. And if you've got five customers, all from different industries, making different offers, it can be brutal to figure out what to do first — and where to dig deep. 'It's like winning five lotteries,' she says. Without shrewd guidance from experts who understand the tech, it's much more difficult to identify the strongest market — or even which problem makes the most sense to solve first. 'I've seen companies essentially blow up a technology that might have saved the world.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Take heed, Stalled. Your frustration is understandable — no doubt you've spent innumerable hours refining your product. But the last thing you want to do is undermine all that potential by rushing the next steps. It's just as important to dedicate time and effort to develop your business plan and hone your pitch so that you can succeed in deploying this potentially game-changing solution where it will have the greatest impact.

Create Account On Wednesday, Sabia was hired as clerk of the Privy Council Office in Ottawa and was also named secretary to Cabinet. He had been president and CEO of Hydro-Quebec since 2023. 'As Canada's new government builds the strongest economy in the G7, Mr. Sabia's leadership will be key to this mission,' said Carney. 'Canada's exemplary public service with Mr. Sabia at the helm will advance nation-building projects.' The hiring comes three years after Sabia, who was the deputy minister of finance in Justin Trudeau's government from 2020-23, was instrumental in employing terrorist financing laws to enforce a national freeze of bank accounts held by protesters camped out on Parliament Hill, according to Blacklock's Reporter. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The use of the Proceeds Of Crime And Terrorist Financing Act by the Trudeau government was ruled unlawful by a federal judge in 2024. 'The scope of the regulations was overbroad in so far as it captured people who simply wanted to join in the protest by standing on Parliament Hill carrying a placard,' wrote Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley. It is estimated that $7.8 million was frozen in 437 bank and credit union accounts and bitcoin wallets. Sabia was asked at the Public Order Emergency Commission in November 2022 whether protesters were terrorists or not. RECOMMENDED VIDEO 'People have every right to protest,' he testified. 'That's an important part of our democratic system. There were no easy answers here.' Freedom Convoy counsel also asked Sabia if he had any information that protesters were terrorists. 'We had no information one way or the other,' replied Sabia. 'You were given no information that these individuals in Ottawa protesting were terrorists?' Miller repeated. 'Well, I am not going to give you a yes or no answer,' replied Sabia. Read More World Celebrity World Sunshine Girls World
