Funding will drive groundbreaking research initiatives, strengthen Canada’s global competitiveness, and deliver real-world benefits for Canadians

OTTAWA, ON, March 13, 2025 /CNW/ – Canadian research plays a pivotal role in driving scientific breakthroughs, advancing innovation and positioning Canada as a global leader. That’s why the Government of Canada is investing in the next generation of problem-solvers to support cutting-edge projects that strengthen communities, improve health outcomes, and address global challenges.

Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, announced that the federal government is investing more than $308 million to advance science and research across the country.

More than $142 million will be distributed through the New Frontiers in Research Fund‘s (NFRF) Transformation stream, which supports large-scale, Canadian-led, interdisciplinary research projects that address major challenges and have the potential to realize real and lasting change. Some of the projects funded include: supporting Indigenous-centred brain health assessment; developing new smart wear technology to assist persons with disabilities; and removing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) to reduce the impacts of climate change.

Additionally, more than $153 million will support 179 new and renewed Canada Research Chairs at 38 research institutions. These investments will advance research and critical innovations in areas including responsible artificial intelligence, multigenerational trauma and resilience in First Nations Peoples, land-ocean biogeochemistry, nanomaterials for regenerative medicine, transmission and knowledge of the Inuit language, RNA-targeted drug discovery, and more. As a partner of the Canada Research Chairs Program, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) is also committing nearly $4.3 million through its John R. Evans Leaders Fund to support 17 research infrastructure projects at 12 institutions.

Finally, over $9 million of the total funding will be allocated through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) PromoScience Program and NSERC Awards for Science Promotion. This funding supports organizations that engage young Canadians in promoting science and engineering, including mathematics and technology, and recognizes individuals and groups who inspire others through their efforts to share science with the public.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains, and the conference call will contain, forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act safe harbor provisions. These statements, which include our expectations for spending in our industry and guidance for future financial performance, are based on management’s current expectations and should be viewed with caution. They are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, many of which are outside the control of the Company, including that customer decisions to place orders or our product shipments may not occur when we expect, that orders may not be converted to revenue in any particular quarter, or at all, whether demand will continue for the semiconductor equipment we produce or, if not, whether we can successfully meet changing market requirements, and whether we will be able to maintain continuity of business relationships with and purchases by major customers. Increased competitive pressure on sales and pricing, increases in material and other production costs that cannot be recouped in product pricing and instability caused by changing global economic, political or financial conditions, including with respect to the imposition of tariffs on our products or components of our products, could also cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements. These risks and other risk factors relating to Axcelis are described more fully in the most recent Form 10-K filed by Axcelis and in other documents filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AUSTIN, Texas and HONG KONG, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eventus, a leading provider of comprehensive, at-scale trade surveillance and financial risk solutions, last night won the award for Best Market, Trade or Communications Surveillance Solution for its Validus platform at the ninth annual Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence. The firm and its platform have now earned eight honors in the rigorous awards program since 2021.

A member of the independent judging panel said: “Eventus offers the best balance of detailed abuse detection, multi-asset scale, explainable alert automation and material advances over the past twelve months.”

Eventus CEO Cameron Routh said: “Market participants across the Asia-Pacific region face increased scrutiny of market conduct, supervisory controls, algorithmic trading, cross-market manipulation and alert governance. These firms often trade across multiple venues, asset classes, desks and jurisdiction, making it extremely difficult to maintain consistent and robust surveillance for those companies using fragmented or legacy systems. We’re delighted to earn another Regulation Asia Award for solving the challenges encountered by our clients conducting business in the region through a single, configurable surveillance environment.”

Bradley Maclean, Chair of the Awards Committee, Regulation Asia, said: “Surveillance teams need to know why an alert fired. Eventus backed every abuse typology with a clear detection mechanism, and managed false positives with discipline.”

The Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence celebrate financial institutions, technology providers, regulators, policymakers and advisory firms driving progress in compliance, managing risks, fostering resilience and safeguarding market integrity. By addressing the region’s unique regulatory challenges and evolving landscape, the leading firms are “shaping a stronger, more sustainable financial ecosystem for Asia,” Regulation Asia says, and the awards provide a platform to honor those driving innovation and leading efforts to manage risk, enhance resilience and uphold the integrity of Asia’s financial system. The independent judging panel for the Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence included seasoned practitioners at the forefront of regulatory, compliance and policymaking.

Eventus has clients on six continents surveilling multiple asset classes, including 30 active clients in the Asia-Pacific region, ranging from brokerage firms, to proprietary trading firms and digital asset marketplaces. More than half of Eventus’ new global clients have a presence in APAC.

Eventus has earned 18 honors for its work in the APAC region, including Market Surveillance Solution of the Year at the FOW Asia Pacific Awards in September and Best Trade Surveillance Solution at A-Team Group’s Capital Markets Technology Awards APAC. The firm has won 57awards and honors since 2018, including last month’s AI in Capital Markets Award for Best AI Solution for Trade Surveillance, as well as the Risk Technology Award for Trade Surveillance Product of the Year.
