#CANSEC2026 wrapped yesterday. What a show! Every year, the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) team exceed my expectations in delivering an event that brings together the full breadth of Canada’s defence and security ecosystem. For Calian Group, it was a busy few days of critical meetings and strong conversations across defence, space, AI, and sovereign capability—focused on real collaboration and delivery. Big momentum and major announcements from #CalianAtCANSEC: 🔘ATHORA™, Calian’s newly launched sovereign interoperability platform designed to enable secure integration, operational coordination, and decision advantage across land, sea, air, space, cyber, and electromagnetic domains. 🔘Calian VENTURES showcasing how we’re supporting SMEs, government, and partners in turning proven Canadian technologies into sovereign defence capabilities. 🔘C5ISRT capabilities—supporting the backbone of modern Canadian defence and enabling connected, data-driven operational awareness. 🔘Partnership with Cohere, to deliver sovereign AI to the defence industry and strengthening Canada’s ability to build and deploy trusted, secure AI solutions. Thank you to everyone who visited the Calian booths and connected with the team. Already looking ahead to next year—and celebrating CANSEC’s 30th anniversary. #CalianAtCANSEC #CanadianDefence #Partnerships
