The Defence Opportunity: Canada's Half-Trillion-Dollar Bet and How Founders Can Build Into It

​Canada just hit NATO's 2% target five years early and committed half a trillion dollars to defence over the next decade. The Defence Investment Agency is open for business. The Defence Industrial Strategy has named 10 sovereign capability priorities. The BDC has $4B earmarked for its defence platform, NRC-IRAP has a new $244M stream for SMEs, and Canada just joined the EU's €150B SAFE procurement program.

This is the largest shift in Canadian defence policy in a generation — and Ottawa is the centre of it.

This Tech Thursday brings together a government insider, an operator who's navigated the process, and an advisor who's done the deals — to walk through what's actually happening, what's working, and what founders need to know to make an informed call.
