(TSX.V: XX) (OTC: ALXXF) (“Avante” or the “Company”), a global provider of technology-enabled security solutions and services, is pleased to announce that its majority-owned subsidiary, North Star Support Group (“NSSG”), has launched TESEUM, an AI-powered intelligence platform for integrated and predictive risk management. Developed as a modular and multi-layered operational intelligence environment, TESEUM integrates AI-driven analysis, real-time monitoring, and expert intelligence support into a single environment, enabling organizations to transform fragmented information into operational clarity, informed decision-making, and forward-looking risk intelligence. Today, organizations operate in an environment where geopolitical instability, cyber threats, supply chain disruption, regulatory change, sanctions, third-party exposure and operational risks evolve simultaneously. While information has never been more abundant, identifying what truly matters—and what is likely to matter next—has become increasingly difficult. Traditional monitoring tools no longer provide sufficient situational awareness. TESEUM was developed to bridge this gap by combining multiple intelligence disciplines into a unified platform. Emmanuel Mounouchos, CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Avante, commented, “TESEUM is a significant step forward for NSSG and for Avante's broader technology ecosystem, combining AI-powered intelligence with the deep expertise NSSG has built over two decades. We've been extremely pleased with NSSG's performance since joining Avante, reporting 67% revenue growth the most recent fiscal year speaks to the strength of the team and the value of integrating NSSG's global reach with our technology platform. TESEUM is the next stage of that growth story. Key Capabilities of the TESEUM Platform TESEUM combines multiple intelligence capabilities within a single operational environment, with AI agents embedded to accelerate search, triage, analysis and decision support: <ul type="disc"><li>Location Intelligence: Monitor global developments based on operational footprint, geography, assets, and strategic exposure.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li>Travel Risk &amp; Duty of Care: Protect travelling personnel through real-time alerts, traveler monitoring, secure check-ins, and emergency escalation.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li>Cyber Risk Intelligence: Identify cyber vulnerabilities and connect digital threats to broader operational and geopolitical risks.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li>Third-Party Intelligence &amp; Due Diligence – support compliance, procurement and business development through intelligence-led verification and enhanced due diligence.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li>On-Demand Intelligence: Access tailored intelligence reports directly from NSSG experts through the platform.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li>AI Intelligence Workspace: Analyze developments, extract insights, and interact with intelligence using secure, AI-powered workflows built into every module.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li>Predictive Risk Intelligence: AI-driven modelling of likely risk trajectories, built on coordinates defined and continuously validated by NSSG analysts, and customized to each client's specific sector and country of operation.</li></ul> Since Avante acquired a majority interest in NSSG in 2023, the business has become a core contributor to Avante's international growth strategy. NSSG delivered 67% revenue growth in Fiscal 2026 compared to Fiscal 2025, including 97% growth in its Consulting division, alongside a gross profit margin of 52%, reflecting the high-margin, scalable nature of its specialized risk-management services. With offices and representation across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Africa, NSSG continues to serve a broad base of multinational clients, including Fortune 500 companies operating in complex and high-risk jurisdictions. Alessandro Martello, CEO and Founder of NSSG, added, “Our partnership with Avante has been transformative for NSSG, giving us access to the technology, resources, and platform needed to compete for larger and more complex mandates on a global scale. TESEUM reflects what that partnership makes possible — pairing AI-driven intelligence with the judgment of our analysts so clients can act on what matters, not just what's loud. We're proud of the growth we've delivered together, and we're even more excited about what's ahead.” ABOUT AVANTE CORP.
