Canada's defence R&D sector needs revitalization and re-rationalization. Taxpayer investments haven't generated the expected level of innovation, commercialization, or export success. We can learn from the challenges highlighted in the US – their significant R&D spending doesn't always result in technologies finding their way into the hands of soldiers. Canada could address this by fostering a stronger link between research initiatives and the specific goals of our defence acquisition programs. This would ensure greater efficiency and a clearer path for research to translate into tools for our military.

This requires some careful reading to follow the acronyms and missions, but the gist is that DoD has some very focused people working on assessing future needs in capabilities and technologies and finding new ways to use the amazing industrial base of our nation to meet those needs. As a business owner, your takeaway is that there may be opportunities for you if you meet some of the needs identified. Study the critical sectors they have identified and, as always, discuss with your local APEX Accelerator if you'd like a sounding board on how to participate in these efforts.
