As defence, security, and commercial innovation increasingly overlap, dual-use technologies, solutions with both civilian and defence applications are becoming critical to Canada’s economic resilience and security strategy. This executive-focused event creates a space for meaningful dialogue, relationship-building, and practical insights into how companies can engage with Canada’s defence ecosystem. Hosted at The PIER in Halifax, this Executive Lounge will feature expert panel discussions, short presentations, and curated networking opportunities designed to connect decision-makers with defence expertise and government partners. -- Special guests (coming soon)
