Opened a Bluedrop USA headquarters in Orlando, Florida in 2023 - a foreign subsidiary of a Canadian parent. bluedropts.com
Its parent BPLI Holdings Inc. is a Canadian federal corporation in St. John's, so the ownership chain stays Canadian. The entity is the renamed Atlantis Systems Corp., incorporated 2013-12-31. ised-isde.canada.ca
Its LinkedIn page still reads "Public Company" and "Founded 1992" - both stale, from the former Bluedrop Performance Learning. The registry types it a non-distributing corporation. ised-isde.canada.ca
