illuxi Invests $1M in AI Platform to Transform Workforce Reskilling in Canada

illuxi, a Canadian learning tech company, has announced a $1 million investment in illuxiHERO, a new AI-powered platform designed to deliver real-time, personalized competency development. Built in partnership with JACOBB, a recognized College Technology Transfer Centre, the initiative aims to reshape how organizations assess skills and deliver training.

CEO Chantal Provost of JACOBB said the collaboration puts “AI at the service of skills development with a pragmatic and effective approach.” Pierre Marc Johnson, former Premier of Quebec, called the project a key step toward “digital autonomy,” while Christian Paradis, former federal minister, said it reflects “the kind of leadership that will strengthen our economy and help Canadian talent thrive in the age of AI.”
