The Sovereign Maker Mandate: Cross-Sector Innovation for a Resilient CAF

July 20 2026, 1100-1200 Hrs EST

Driving sustainable Defence supply chains through collaboration.

Relying on a brittle web of global supply chains invites disruption from adversaries who know that stopping an army simply requires cutting its fuel lines. In an era of contested logistics, accelerating climate impacts, and High Arctic competition, NATO and Canadian operational postures must evolve beyond standard commercial resupply models.

Join Team Defence Information Canada for a high-impact, one-hour briefing on how multi-vector innovation, cross-sector ecosystems, and climate-aware strategies are redefining operational endurance and creating uncoercible defence postures.
