Their main website is a black page. No idea if someone bought the brand or if it is the original people behind this 40 year old project. Both the wikipedia and the website only mention "canada" in passing but no information is given on company and people behind it. Nothing that can be verified.

The page certainly isn't black for me. Its QNX's usual marketing fluff about being embedded in a wide range of cars.
It's developed by BlackBerry, is it not? Has been for years now.
The footer of the website just says "Join the Discord Community - Reddit: r/qnx - Instagram: qnx_devrel - Powered by Ghost". There is no imprint and the "about" link also does not give any info.
From the Wikipedia page
Developer: BlackBerry (formerly QNX Software Systems)
On April 9, 2010, Research In Motion (later renamed to BlackBerry Limited) announced they would acquire QNX Software Systems from Harman International Industries.

And the bb10os was based on this. I still use it and itβs the ultimate phone that supports few android apps still.
It was bought by RIM (Research in Motion) which were the developers of BlackBerry.

Hiya! The bulk of my colleagues and I are in Ottawa and Waterloo Ontario Canada. We're a division of BlackBerry Limited, and have been for about 15 years. QNX itself is about 45+ years old, having come out of an OS course at the University of Waterloo. I work with a lot of people who are celebrating 25-35 year anniversaries -- very much still a lot of the same engineering and product talent here through all of the transitions.
