en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mecademic Inc., a leading manufacturer of compact, high-precision industrial robots, has completed a CAD 21 million (approximately USD 15.3 million) funding round. The round was led by Investissement Québec (IQ), with participation from Export Development Canada (EDC) and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC).

The funds will be used to drive product innovation and international expansion, as well as support the construction of a new headquarters, in response to the rapidly growing global demand for micro-automation solutions. Mecademic plans to invest heavily in the US, European, and Asia-Pacific markets, expanding the application of its ultra-compact robotic arms in sectors such as electronics, optics, medical devices, and biotechnology. These robotic arms can integrate high-speed, precise automation functions into confined spaces where traditional robots cannot fit.

Bicha Ngo, President and CEO of Investissement Québec, stated that the institution supports Mecademic's international expansion to help scale its production and strengthen corporate governance. Mecademic CEO Philippe Beaulieu noted that the funding will enable the company to expand its product line and strengthen its global presence, continuing to maintain its leadership position in the field of micro-automation.

Since 2022, the company has transformed into a growth-oriented global organization and strengthened its governance structure, including the appointment of Dominique Jodoin as Chairman of the Board and David Massé as Chief Financial Officer. The founding team continues to oversee core operations, including CTO Jonathan Coulombe, VP of R&D Éric Boutet, COO Philippe Jacome, and Senior Robotics Advisor Ilian Bonev.
