Defence Ready Mississauga: Your Pathway into Canada's Defence Supply Chain

​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.

​Join Invest Mississauga and BDC for a free half-day workshop designed to help businesses in Mississauga and across Peel Region 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 – structured matchmaking sessions that put you in front of potential buyers and partners

​Mississauga is home to one of Canada's largest aerospace and advanced manufacturing clusters, with nearly 100 companies already in the supply chain and major defence contractors operating here. If your business serves automotive, aerospace or industrial customers today, you may already have capabilities defence buyers need. You don’t need to be a defence contractor today to be part of the supply chain tomorrow.
