Unlocking Defence Opportunities in Saskatchewan: An Introduction for Manufacturers and Innovators (Virtual)

Description

Saskatchewan companies are increasingly exploring opportunities within Canada's growing defence and security sector, but many are unsure where to start. This introductory session with PrairiesCan is designed to help manufacturers, technology firms, engineering companies, and service providers understand how to enter and compete in defence supply chains. Participants will gain insight into emerging opportunities driven by increased domestic and NATO-related spending, certification and compliance requirements, and the support programs available to help businesses prepare for defence contracts. The session will also highlight successful Saskatchewan companies already participating in the sector and provide practical guidance on building relationships with prime contractors and government buyers.
