“Canada has world-class entrepreneurs and researchers, but too often their solutions struggle to reach the soldiers, sailors, aviators, and operators who need them most. The gap between early innovation and national capability is real — and widening as digital technology reshapes every part of security and defence.”
- Duncan McSporran, Co-Founder and CEO of Vimy Forge
