Ottawa is not only our nation’s capital. It is a hub of innovation, policy, and industry that quietly underpins our country’s security every day. From the public servants and politicians shaping strategy on Parliament Hill, to the sensitive planning at National Defence Headquarters and military sites around town, to the engineers, technicians, and entrepreneurs building next-generation capabilities in Kanata and beyond, Ottawa plays a central role in our national defence ecosystem.
It is our hope this report will provide a glimpse into some of the work underway, and where it’s all leading. You will meet the companies, leaders, and public institutions driving change, creating jobs, and strengthening Canada’s position with its allies.Â
The conversations we’re having around defence right now are not abstract. Decisions are being made, investments are being planned, and careers, fortunes, and the defence of the realm hang in the balance. I hope this executive report illuminates the challenges and opportunities ahead for Ottawa.
