This is exactly why we created GCXpo with the Government of Canada. On September 29, Canada's national technology demonstration day returns to Area X.O, our R&D complex for emerging technologies and NATO DIANA Test Centre. This isn't a trade show. It's where Canadian innovators and firms meet current and prospective end-users, customers and investors; demonstrate their solutions live; validate their technology; build customer confidence; forge strategic partnerships; and accelerate their path to market, revenue and growth. If you're building technologies in: • Defence and dual-use • Security • Agri-tech ...we want to see you demonstrate. Our team will support you every step of the way as you showcase your technology in live operating conditions, leveraging more than $60 million in infrastructure and assets designed to help innovators commercialize faster. Apply to Demonstrate Now: bit.ly/4fe1Hpa Because the future doesn't belong to the companies with the best technology. It belongs to the companies whose technology gets adopted and deployed.
