Description

Canada is accelerating the structuring of its defense industrial strategy. In practical terms, this opens doors for SMEs that have never been involved in defense—particularly those that develop products, components, software, or technologies for both civilian and defense applications. This conference provides a clear understanding of the context and a roadmap for action: how to position yourself, where to start, and what pitfalls to avoid.

Who Should Attend This Conference?

Manufacturing SMEs (components, materials, equipment, furniture, electronics, mechatronics, etc.)
Technology and innovative SMEs (software, AI, sensors, cybersecurity, data, telecom, etc.)
Companies with civilian offerings that want to assess whether defense could become a realistic opportunity
Ecosystem stakeholders (financial institutions, support organizations, development agencies, innovation centers)
