SUMMARY:Defence Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Ottawa Board of Trade Defence Forum is a half-day event focused on advancing awareness\, alignment\, and opportunity within Canada’s evolving defence and security sector\, with a particular emphasis on executing the country’s Defence Industrial Strategy. As the Ottawa–Gatineau region continues to strengthen its position as a national Defence Innovation Hub\, the forum will convene leaders from business\, government\, and academia to examine how regional capabilities can support national priorities and deliver on strategic outcomes. \nThrough focused discussions on emerging technologies\, Arctic sovereignty\, procurement modernization\, and next-generation security\, the forum will highlight the critical role of innovation and industry collaboration in building a more resilient and globally competitive defence ecosystem. At a pivotal moment for both economic and national security priorities\, the event will provide a platform for insight\, dialogue\, and partnership that positions the National Capital Region for long-term growth\, diversification\, and leadership in Canada’s defence sector. \nRegister Now.
