Defence Sector Awareness and Supply Chain Workshop

Is your business ready for Canada’s defence economy?

Canada is making generational investments in defence – and that means new opportunities for the companies that build, supply, machine, code, and ship the products behind it. You don’t need to be a defence contractor today to be part of the supply chain tomorrow.

Join BDC, Waterloo EDC and Communitech for a free half-day workshop designed to help the region’s businesses understand the defence market and take practical first steps toward it.

What you’ll get out of the morning:

Understand the opportunity – where Canada’s defence spending is going and where small and mid-sized businesses fit in the supply chain

Hear from the primes and established suppliers – panel discussions with major defence contractors and Canadian companies already winning defence work

Learn how to get in the door – certifications, security requirements, procurement pathways, and what buyers actually look for in a supplier

Make the connections that matter –
