Canada-First. AI-Native. Built to Last.
Let’s be blunt. Canada doesn’t have a digital trade infrastructure.What we’ve had instead is a patchwork of siloed portals, paper-heavy workflows, and million-dollar “modernization” contracts that rarely deliver.
If you’ve watched the ArriveCAN controversy unfold, witnessed the Phoenix pay system challenges, or followed the pattern of infrastructure project overruns—you already know the story. Bloat. Delay. Excuses.
TPTN is the alternative.

We didn’t build this to chase hype or impress investors. We built it because after 25 years in trade—navigating supply chains, opening new markets, and seeing too many SMEs give up on exporting due to unnecessary complexity—I’d had enough.
This Is What Infrastructure Looks Like
Not another app. Not another pilot.TPTN is AI-powered trade infrastructure.Purpose-built. Modular. Multilingual. Compliant by default.
Here’s what that actually means:
A compliance engine that interprets FTAs, validates HS codes, flags ESG risks, and helps exporters navigate 40-page customs docs—without needing a law degree.
An orchestration layer that connects exporters, logistics providers, certifiers, and buyers in real-time.
A multilingual AI agent that doesn’t just translate, but understands trade intent in English, French, and across ASEAN markets.
A governance-by-design model aligned with CAN/DGSI 104, not some vague AI “ethics pledge.”
This isn’t a thin interface overtop legacy infrastructure.This is the infrastructure.
Built in Canada. For Canada. Canada’s AI-Native Trade Infrastructure.
We’re building this from the ground up—with Canadian standards, Canadian policy alignment, and Canadian small businesses in mind.
Our architecture is fully aligned with Digital Governance Council protocols.Our prototype is being built with a Québec-based innovation partner.Our ESG logic is ready to serve both local and ASEAN expectations.
This is what it means to be sovereign.Not just in name. In code.
AI-Native from Day One
A lot of platforms slap AI on after the fact.TPTN didn’t bolt it on—we built it in.
Every module—compliance, logistics, ESG, multilingual—is wired to AI from the core:
We’re using AI to classify, forecast, validate, route, flag, match, and translate.
But we’re also using it responsibly—with human-in-the-loop protocols, risk-tiered escalation triggers, and override justification logs baked in.
Because if you can’t explain what your AI did and why—it doesn’t belong in trade infrastructure.
For the SMEs That Make Up 97% of Our Exporters
This isn’t just about ASEAN. It’s about whether exporting is accessible to the 98% of businesses that don’t have:
an in-house compliance officer
a law firm on retainer
or the time to decipher five regulatory databases before shipping
With TPTN:
You get a guided journey, not a maze.
You get answers in your language.
You get export-ready faster—with less friction, less risk, and more clarity.
We Don’t Need Another Pilot. We Need Execution.
Canada has made all the right trade announcements.We’ve signed the FTAs.We’ve released the Indo-Pacific strategy.
But without execution—without the infrastructure to make it work for real businesses—it’s just paper.
TPTN is ready. Prototype under development.Four provinces behind us.DGC validation secured.
What we need now is national will.
It’s time to build.
Not for Silicon Valley. Not for headlines.For Canada.
This isn’t just a platform. It’s Canada’s AI-Native Trade Infrastructure.
