The New Defense Economy: Value Creation and The Role of Boards of Directors

As Western governments enter a prolonged period of increased defense and security spending, new opportunities are emerging for Canadian companies well beyond the traditional military sector.

Technology, infrastructure, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and institutional financing are all poised to play a key role in this growing ecosystem.

This panel will bring together the Honourable Peter MacKay, former Canadian Minister of National Defense and Strategic Advisor at Deloitte Canada; Édouard Ringuet, Managing Director, Private Equity at La Caisse; Minh Thanh Tran, Executive Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Global Product Strategy at BRP; and Mary-Ann Bell, Board Director at AtkinsRéalis.

Together, they will discuss the investment opportunities, growth drivers, and governance responsibilities emerging for Canadian companies in this new defense economy.

We look forward to seeing you there!
