Canadian small-cap dazzles after deal with TSMC
Quantum eMotion specializes in classical and quantum cybersecurity solutions
The high-flying Canadian small-cap stock has added 1,035.71 per cent year-over-year
Quebec-based Quantum eMotion (TSXV:QNC) has validated the chip design for its first-generation Quantum Random Number Generator, initiating manufacturing with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) (OTCPK:TSMWF), the world's leading semiconductor foundry.
Academic teams at ÉTS Montréal and the Institut Quantique at Université de Sherbrooke showed that the company's product – an advanced microsystem based on the quantum electron tunneling effect – can produce purely random bits 'at exceptional speeds,' according to Monday's news release. It achieves this milestone while preserving 'the integrity of quantum randomness, a fundamental requirement for cybersecurity applications,' at a design capacity of more than 1 Gbit/sec.
The number generator, intended to fit on printed circuit boards with minimal external components, will now be optimally positioned to scale and capitalize on demand in a growing market expected to soar from US$150 million in 2024 to US$2 billion in 2033, representing a staggering compound annual growth rate of 34.5 per cent. Leadership insights
'With this final chip design now entering fabrication, Quantum eMotion is delivering on its vision to contribute to the next generation of quantum-secure hardware,' Francis Bellido, Quantum eMotion's chief executive officer, said in a statement. 'This QRNG chip, the first one based on the quantum tunneling effect and protected by four international patents, offers high performance in a fully integrated CMOS format. By embedding quantum electron tunneling into a standard CMOS chip, we are setting a new benchmark in performance, scalability and integration. This is a decisive step towards enhancing digital security in the face of emerging quantum threats.'
'We are proud to have contributed to the development and validation of this QRNG chip,' added Ghyslain Gagnon, professor at ÉTS Montréal. 'Our results confirm that true quantum randomness can be reliably extracted from this architecture, making it a practical solution for high-assurance security systems.' About Quantum eMotion

New Brunswick deficit forecast rises by almost 22 per cent to $668.7 million
The New Brunswick government is revising its budget deficit upward by almost 22 per cent, adding that 'unstable trade conditions' and poor weather are casting a shadow over the province's finances. The province said its deficit is now projected to be $668.7 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year, up from the $549 million forecast in the March budget. Revenues are expected to be $59.6 million lower than forecast in the budget, and expenses are projected to be $60 million higher than the March estimate. The government estimates the province's GDP will grow by 0.9 per cent for the year — lower than the private sector forecast average of 1.2 per cent. Finance Minister René Legacy attributed the increase in spending to higher costs in health and long-term care, seniors, and child and youth welfare.

Story continues below advertisement The U.S. tariffs imposed on some Canadian goods are negatively affecting the province's economic outlook, he said, adding that the effects are still unclear. 'We're still very cautiously monitoring. We should have a better picture about the impact that tariffs and trade will have on our projections as we progress in the second and third quarters,' he said. 'Anecdotally, we certainly hear that … industry and companies are very cautious in investing and moving forward because they just don't know what to expect in the months to come.' Legacy said the government is also keeping a close eye on how much weather events, such as wildfires, will cost the province. John Herron, natural resources minister, said Monday the wildfires have grounded the province's forestry sector to a halt. There are mills on the verge of running out of wood after the government banned forest harvesting amid extreme wildfire risk, he said. About 25 square kilometres of forested land have burned or are expected to burn so far. Giving a ballpark estimate, he said the amount of forest lost to fire represented about $10.5 million in direct and indirect taxes from the forestry industry and about $42.5 million in lumber revenue to sawmills. On Tuesday, Legacy told reporters the full impact of the wildfires will be known once they are put out. 'At this moment, it's still within the boundaries of what we had budgeted.' Story continues below advertisement The government is also concerned about the drought-like conditions gripping Atlantic Canada. 'God willing, we're not going to have more hurricanes or ice storms but the year is still very early.'

For Tired, Busy Parents: New Partnership Promises Nutritious, Stress-Free Meals for Little Ones
With help from NAIT's Applied Research Centre for Culinary Innovation, ABC Pantry is taking the guesswork out of feeding kids during the most critical years of development. CALGARY, AB, Aug. 19, 2025 /CNW/ - ABC Pantry, a Canadian startup developing functional frozen foods for kids and toddlers, is proud to announce a strategic research partnership with the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Applied Research Centre for Culinary Innovation. This collaboration will support the final stage of product development for ABC Pantry's science-backed baby and toddler meals, created in consultation with pediatric dietitians. ABC Pantry was founded to solve a challenge many modern parents face: knowing how important nutrition is in the first years of life, but feeling busy, overwhelmed, and uncertain they're getting it right. From label confusion to picky eating to mealtime stress, today's parents are doing their best, and ABC Pantry is working to make that easier. "We're building a new standard for convenience in early childhood nutrition," said Alex McKay, CEO of ABC Pantry. "With this partnership, we're combining expert formulation, real ingredients, and food science rigour to create meals that truly support digestion, development, and ultimately peace of mind for busy parents." NAIT's Applied Research team will work closely with ABC Pantry to refine nutritional density, texture progression, and food safety standards, ensuring the meals not only meet Health Canada guidelines but are developmentally appropriate and ready for commercialization. This work will culminate in pilot-scale production and packaging trials. "We are thrilled to lend our expertise in food science and culinary arts to this meaningful project," said Haley Donadeo, Culinary Scientist, NAIT Applied Research, Centre for Culinary Innovation. "Our work will help ensure these meals are not only nutritious and safe, but also meet the highest standards for quality, texture, and flavour. It's a privilege to contribute to a project that aims to make a difference in nutrition for children." The announcement comes at a time when Canadian parents are increasingly seeking alternatives to ultra-processed, shelf-stable baby food. According to Mintel's 2025 Global Food and Drink Trends, families are drawn to "Fundamentally Nutritious" products with clear, essential nutrient profiles, especially as health-consciousness rises and trust in food manufacturing is scrutinized. About ABC Pantry ABC Pantry is a science-forward food company reimagining kids' food from the ground up. Developed in collaboration with pediatric dietitians and food scientists, ABC Pantry's frozen meals are designed to support digestion, immunity, and development during the critical first years of life, giving parents fewer worries and more confidence that their little ones are getting what they need.
