Helping Alberta manufacturers develop products for Canadian DND.

Defence Discussion for Manufacturers

Join us on May 12 for an important virtual leaders event focused on how Alberta manufacturers can begin exploring opportunities in the defence sector. This session will introduce EMC’s new Defence Initiative in Alberta, supported through the Government of Alberta, and open the conversation on what it takes to innovate for this growing and strategic market. Attendees will also hear from the Cyber/AI lead from the CARDD-TECH program at the University of Alberta as we discuss local resources, innovation pathways, and practical first steps for companies looking to better understand the needs and opportunities tied to Canadian defence.

This 60-minute interactive webinar is designed for manufacturers, innovators, and industry leaders who want to better understand how to enter and grow within the defence space. As Part One of a two-part virtual series, this event will introduce EMC’s new Defence Initiative in Alberta and explore how manufacturers can begin positioning themselves to support current and future opportunities related to Canadian DND.

Through an engaging audience-driven discussion, participants will learn about new programming available through EMC, hear insights from the University of Alberta’s CARDD-TECH program, and gain a better understanding of how innovation in products, processes, cyber, and AI can help manufacturers respond to evolving defence challenges. This session is ideal for companies looking for practical direction, regional resources, and a stronger understanding of how to get started in defence-related innovation.
