Newfoundland and Labrador has a rich history in global military, aerospace and aviation, and transportation innovations. The tradition continues today as our Aerospace and Defence industry evolves and grows. The sector consists of approximately 30 knowledge-intensive companies, generating approximately $350 Million CAD in annual revenues with a workforce of about 1500 workers. The industry has a growth rate of 300% since 2004 and the vast majority of aerospace and defence products and services created in NL are destined for markets outside of the province, including Canada, the United States, Central and South America, and Europe. Opportunities range from Aircraft Part Manufacturing and Assembly (PMA) and shipbuilding to unmanned vehicle systems (UVS) and Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV).

solace Power develops and licenses wireless power technology that allows military users to reduce or eliminate the use of charging cables and power cords in their electronics. By embedding Solace’s technology into batteries and soldier carried devices, soldiers reduce the need for backup batteries and eliminate power cords required for the increasing number of powered sensors and devices they carry. The technology can also be embedded in vehicles to allow charging of soldier devices while inside or alongside the platform. Our approach to wireless power enables power transfer in almost any position, ensuringnochangeinuserbehaviourforsoldiers inthefield. Additionally,thewirelesspower coupling could be used to charge battery powered UAV’s, robots and other battery driven technology.

SecureTechCanada’s leading public safety, emergency management and security Showcase
November 4-5 | Ottawa Convention CentreThe Showcase is a driver for greater community and organizational resilience via knowledge exchange and engagement of the security community including industry, government, emergency responders and practitioners.
The decade following 9-11 featured regular increases in military and security-related spending worldwide including in the United States, Canada’s principal export market. Recently, austerity measures at home and within the rest of NATO - plus the effects of sequestration, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq and the draw-down in Afghanistan – have led to a softening of defence spending in many traditional markets. At the same time, opportunities in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East continue to show significant potential. And, there are new initiatives by the Canadian Government now in place to support and strengthen Canada’s defence and security sector in the global marketplace.
Exhibiting at major international shows and participation in our trade missions gives Canadian firms the opportunity to showcase their products to defence delegates from dozens of countries, primes/Original Equipment Manufacturer groups, system integrators, foreign distributors, and the end-user military personnel that rely on these international events to look for new products and technologies.
Take advantage of CADSI’s comprehensive program for Canadian companies at select overseas events! Our “Canada Pavilion” branded exhibition space commands a premier location, with a spacious and inviting Canadian Reception area, featuring on-site meeting rooms to accommodate foreign military delegation visits, business-to-business meetings, plus space for seminars and networking receptions. This is complimented by our our efforts to facilitate a Whole of Government approach to trade events where a combined effort benefits Canada – including with Export Development Canada, Canadian Commercial Corporation, Canada’s trade commissioners, DND, and our military attachés.
