The Department of Industry, Energy and Technology is joining 11 companies from Newfoundland and Labrador to participate in the Defence Security and Aerospace Exhibition Atlantic 2023 (DEFSEC) in Halifax, Nova Scotia from October 3-5, 2023.
DEFSEC organizers and the Atlantic Canada Aerospace and Defence Association (ACADA) will facilitate business-to-business meetings for companies such as Lockheed Martin, Bombardier and Boeing; international departments of defence and/or military branches of government; and international companies working in Canada that need to fulfill Industrial Benefits Agreements. These meetings present important business opportunities for Newfoundland and Labrador companies attending the conference.
The 11 companies attending the conference are: Avalon Holographics, Bluedrop Training and Simulation, BluMetric Environmental, C-CORE, Canadian Maritime Engineering, Gastops, Genoa Design, Glamox Canada, Kraken Robotics, Pennecon Hydraulic Systems and Virtual Marine.
DEFSEC Atlantic, presented by ACADA, is the second largest event of its kind in Canada. The 2022 show included 176 exhibits, over 500 organizations, 45 government agencies and 17 countries. In addition, 638 private business-to-business meetings were facilitated, making the exhibition attractive to companies looking to connect with possible partners and customers worldwide.
