The Ottawa Board of Trade Defence Forum is a half-day event focused on strengthening awareness, alignment, and opportunity within Canada’s growing defence and security sector. As the Ottawa–Gatineau region continues to advance as a national Defence Innovation Hub, the forum will convene leaders from across Ottawa’s business community to explore the broader landscape shaping this critical sector and the role local organizations can play within it.

Rooted in themes of collaboration, innovation, and resilience, the forum will highlight how a connected ecosystem can accelerate growth, support emerging technologies, and reinforce Canada’s global competitiveness. At a pivotal moment for both economic and national security priorities, this event will provide a platform for insight, dialogue, and partnership to advance the National Capital Region’s next chapter as it gradually shifts from a reliance on the public sector.

Sponsorship opportunities are available and start at $2,500.
