 Why should I attend?

• While the Arctic Offshore ships are currently under construction, the Surface Combatants program is still on track with a winning design to be selected in 2018 and steel scheduled to be cut by 2021.
• For large defence procurements by the Department of National Defence - whether for ships, software, training systems, or aircraft parts - the successful bidder is required to work with small and medium sized businesses (SMEs).
• This is where we see value for our Nova Scotia SMEs. Companies supplying the defence sector typically experience increase in sales, global sales experience, and long term gains, including the acquisition of new capabilities.
• Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the defence industry, meet with defence companies that are actively looking to engage with Canadian SMEs, and build your network.
