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.

Event Format
This rapid-fire “Defence Online Snack” is designed for maximum impact and audience engagement:

Briefings: Two intensive 15-minute presentations from our keynote speakers.
Interactive Q&A: A 30-minute open panel discussion where attendees can challenge the speakers and explore cross-allied applications.

Who Should Attend?
Whether you are dialing in from the Canadian defence sector, the UK/EU allied network, or the commercial tech space, this session is critical for:

Defence policymakers and capability planners.
Industry leaders in advanced manufacturing, energy, and clean-tech.
Logistics, procurement, and supply chain professionals.

Innovators looking to cross the “valley of death” into defence applications
