Élisa Interactive develops Me-Z-Scene, an AI-assisted level design tool that arranges existing assets to create 3D scenes and game worlds without generating new assets. Founded by father-son duo François and Julien Bélanger, the company pivoted from building studio-specific tools to enabling amateur creators on user-generated-content platforms like Roblox. Me-Z-Scene is being tested by just under 100 users, with a full launch planned for the fall. At launch, Élisa plans to charge users based on credit usage, though details of the pricing model remain to be finalized. The startup raised $875,000 in a pre-seed round from AQC Capital, Anges Québec, Investissement Québec’s Eurêka Fund and angel investors to support development and commercialization. The team has also signaled potential future expansion into other UGC-forward games such as Minecraft or Fortnite.

Opalia cultivates mammary cells in bioreactors to produce complete milk—including proteins, fats, and sugars—intended as a drop-in replacement for conventional fluid or powdered milk. The company positions its approach as distinct from precision fermentation by producing whole milk rather than single milk proteins. Opalia targets the global dairy market through a B2B licensing and supply model rather than direct-to-consumer sales. It has signed paid commercial pilot agreements with established dairy players, including Hoogwegt and the Canadian division of a major dairy group, with partnerships across five countries on three continents. Opalia plans to scale a modular bioreactor system using proceeds from the CAD 3.2M seed round and aims for a commercial launch in 2028 while pursuing regulatory approvals in North America, Europe, and Asia.
