The Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) is the national voice of our defence and security industries, a sector that employs 109,000 Canadians and generates more than $12.6 billion dollars for our economy every year, more than half that for the export market.

CADSI is a not-for-profit business association representing more than 1,000 member companies, focused on four main lines of effort. We:

• Provide world-class domestic events throughout the year for members to exhibit and network with business; officials from the federal, provincial and municipal government; public and private sector stakeholders; and international delegations.

• Offer a variety of member-only 'Outlook' information sessions to help small and medium-sized enterprises navigate the procurement system in Canada, to help grow your business outside the country, and to gain a greater understanding of the business opportunities available in the defence and security sectors.

• Help Canadian firms maximize their exhibit and networking potential at select, major international defence and technology shows.

• Represent the interests of Canada's defence and security industries to decision-makers on Parliament Hill and at legislatures, to senior public officials in key federal departments, and to national media.
