2025: A Year of Expansion, AI Innovation, and Governance Leadership

As we enter 2026, we're taking a moment to look back on a milestone year for Panorama. 2025 was a pivotal year, driven by innovation of our products, the launch of our AI-powered meeting minutes tool MinutesIQ, our international expansion, and an even stronger commitment to our governance partners. From concrete technological advances to strategic exchanges with organizations, this year has solidified Panorama's position as a trusted partner for modern, efficient, and human-centered governance.

Growth

Clients

In 2025, Panorama achieved 150% client growth, supporting organizations in both the private and non-profit sectors. This progress reflects a growing need for structured, secure, and high-performing governance tools capable of reducing the administrative burden, all while improving decision-making quality. By staying attuned to our users and evolving the platform according to their realities, Panorama has continued to fulfill its mission: enabling boards of directors to focus on what matters most; strategy, impact, and value creation.

Product Expansion: MinutesIQ

The year 2025 was marked by the launch of MinutesIQ, our artificial intelligence solution dedicated to producing governance-grade meeting minutes. In June, we launched our beta program, announced at a private cocktail event in Quebec City, and began close collaboration with our partner organizations. Together, we tested, refined, and shaped MinutesIQ to address real governance challenges. This joint development, fueled by field feedback and our partners' expertise, culminated in November with the official launch of MinutesIQ: a tool co-created with and for modern governance leaders.

Designed to transform one of the most demanding tasks in corporate secretariat, MinutesIQ enables organizations to go from several hours of drafting to just minutes of review, without compromising on quality, compliance, or confidentiality.

Early users are already seeing:

  • Minutes reviewed in under 10 minutes
  • 98% accuracy in capturing key discussions and decisions
  • Accelerated approvals thanks to immediately available minutes

MinutesIQ is now used in French and English, in-person, virtual, or hybrid, highlighting Panorama's approach to governance-applied AI.

In parallel, we consulted our community to shape the future of artificial intelligence in governance together. This collaborative approach allows us to develop AI solutions that truly meet the needs of boards of directors, placing humans at the heart of technological innovation. Stay tuned!

Technological Innovation

Impactful Design

2025 was the year of a major user experience overhaul. We redesigned agendas, minutes, and resolutions to create an interface where efficiency meets aesthetics. Well-crafted and structured documents strengthen organizations' credibility, whether with stakeholders, partners, or during strategic exchanges. Panorama is a tool that's a pleasure to use because it's polished, but most importantly reflects the seriousness and professionalism of the organisations that choose to implement Panorama.

Tools Designed to Reduce Administrative Burden

This year, we developed features that directly address the daily challenges of governance professionals: simplifying meeting preparation, facilitating collaboration among directors, and reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. From optimized document management to more flexible invitation sending, to better organization of agenda items, each improvement aims to free up time for what truly matters: strategic thinking and decision-making.

We also transformed resolution management, enabling boards of directors to gain agility: adoption, signature, and tracking of resolutions are now smooth and intuitive, with a validation process that adapts to each organization's workflow.

Finally, to strengthen security and control, we expanded autonomous access and permission management capabilities, while offering tools to ensure confidentiality and traceability of sensitive documents. These updates reflect our commitment to our clients, to evolve the software according to their needs, while combining innovation, security, and usability.

Partnerships, Recognition, and Community Engagement

Strategic Collaborations and Leadership

Our founder and president, Roxanne Lessard, is proud to have contributed to the Excellence in Canadian Board Governance (ECBG) program of Women in Bio, an organization committed to promoting the careers, leadership, and entrepreneurship of women in the life sciences field.

The year 2025 was also marked by significant recognition of leadership within Panorama. Roxanne Lessard received the Women in Tech Award at the MTL Tech Awards, highlighting Panorama's impact in transforming governance to be more inclusive, transparent, and innovative. This distinction reflects the work of the entire Panorama team and the trust of the organizations that choose us to support their governance practices.

Events and Outreach

Throughout the year, Panorama participated in several major events in the governance and innovation ecosystem:

  • Carrefour de gouvernance in Quebec City: We attended the first-ever Carrefour de gouvernance hosted by the Collège des administrateurs de sociétés at Université Laval, which brought together nearly 600 governance professionals to discuss digital transformation and the modernization of boards of directors.
  • GPC in Montreal: We had the pleasure of participating in the Governance Professionals of Canada annual conference, strengthening our ties with the governance community in Quebec and Canada.
  • Rendez-vous numérique in Quebec City, a flagship digital transformation event where Panorama shared its vision of modern governance and AI innovation.

Panorama also organized several initiatives to support and train governance professionals, including:

  • Webinar: "High-Performance Governance and AI: Essential Practices to Advance Your Organization": A gathering bringing together CEOs, board chairs, directors, and governance professionals around the evolution of expectations for boards of directors and the role of AI in improving decision-making.
  • Group training sessions for our community, enabling directors and governance professionals to fully master Panorama's features and optimize their practices.

Panorama Goes International

In 2025, Panorama continued its international expansion with a strategic presence in France. We presented Panorama and MinutesIQ in Toulouse, explored the specific needs of international boards of directors, and initiated strategic transatlantic collaborations. Sharing Quebec expertise in modern governance beyond borders remains a strong ambition for Panorama.

Evolution of Our Spaces

In 2025, Panorama also reached a new milestone in its growth by moving to the Ax-C innovation space, an environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and team development in a stimulating and modern setting.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we begin 2026, Panorama looks to the future with a clear vision: to become the reference in modern governance, in Quebec, Canada, and internationally. We will continue developing MinutesIQ to make it the tool of choice for boards of directors who want to transform their practices through artificial intelligence. Our expansion will continue, driven by the conviction that effective governance is a lever for performance and impact for all organizations, regardless of their size or sector.

Beyond technology, our ambition is to build a community of committed leaders, create spaces for exchange and collaboration that advance governance practices, and continue innovating to meet tomorrow's challenges. We believe in governance that unlocks organizations' potential, puts humans at the center of decisions, and builds a more transparent, inclusive, and high-performing future.

To our clients, partners, and the entire Panorama community: thank you for your trust, your feedback, and your commitment throughout 2025. You inspire us to keep improving.

And also... we're hiring! If you want to contribute to this adventure and grow within a committed and ambitious team, we would love to have you join us. Together, let's continue building the future of governance.
