Market Opportunity

The United States represents a significant defence market for Canadian companies, supported by longstanding bilateral defence cooperation, integrated supply chains, and shared security priorities.

AUSA provides Canadian companies with opportunities to engage U.S. Army stakeholders, better understand modernization and procurement priorities, and build relationships with American prime contractors, suppliers, and industry partners.

For Canadian companies seeking to enter or expand within the U.S. defence market, AUSA offers direct exposure to military requirements, industry decision-makers, and potential partners across the North American defence industrial base.

Delivering Canada's Presence

Canada's participation at AUSA is coordinated through CADSI and its government and strategic partners, providing Canadian companies with a dedicated delegation experience and access to programming designed to support business development in the U.S. defence market.

Through a Canadian delegation lounge, targeted networking, market briefings, and coordinated activities, participants can connect with industry and government stakeholders while benefiting from a shared Canadian presence.
