ENVGO at CANSEC 2026: Advancing Canada's Maritime Defence Capabilities

CANSEC 2026 highlighted a clear shift in Canada's defence priorities, with national security, sovereignty, and maritime resilience taking centre stage.

Throughout the event, ENVGO engaged with military leaders, government organizations, and industry partners on the growing role of autonomous maritime systems, AI, and advanced sensing in strengthening Canada's future defence capabilities. As an ITB-eligible Canadian SME, ENVGO also met with defence primes exploring Canadian industrial participation — our platform aligns with Canada's Industrial and Technological Benefits priorities across autonomy, advanced marine systems, AI, and ISR.

The conversations reinforced the importance of collaboration, sovereign innovation, and dual-use technologies in addressing evolving security challenges and building Canada's defence industrial base. ENVGO left CANSEC energized by new partnerships and opportunities to contribute to the next generation of Canadian maritime security solutions.
