National Defence Roundtable - Imagining Canada's Defence Industry in the Next 10 Years

​About the Event

​Canada has committed to significantly scaling up Defence spending, but what does that actually mean? This roundtable asks a simple question: if Canada's Defence Industrial Strategy succeeds, what do we have in 2036 that we don't have today?

​We're convening defence leaders alongside emerging professionals to move past the usual calls for "more spending" and get concrete about capabilities, industrial priorities, workforce, access to capital, and the trade-offs ahead.

​Our roundtable will include:

​Peter Suma, Managing Partner, BDC StrongNorth Fund
Alex Maierean, CEO and Co-founder, Phantom Photonics Matthew da Mota, PhD, Research Director, Emerging Technology and National Security, The Canadian Shield Institute

​Dinner will be served; please arrive on time - Doors will open at 5:30 PM.
