Join subject matter experts from industry, academia, the Canadian Armed Forces, and the Department of National Defence for a panel discussion designed to foster meaningful dialogue on modern technologies, operational challenges, and collaborative solutions.
Canada has faced ongoing supply chain challenges since 2020, from COVID-19 disruptions to global conflicts. These challenges are prompting a re-evaluation of traditional defence supply assumptions, including the increasing role of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) and Military Off the Shelf (MOTS) solutions.
The distinguished panel of experts from Canadian industry, academia, and DND/CAF will explore critical challenges in defence supply, discuss strategies to strengthen Canada’s readiness and resilience through domestic manufacturing and innovation, and examine how we can nurture Canadian volume leaders to meet defence supply demands.
