Global geopolitical shifts, combined with Canada’s new defence industrial strategy, are redefining priorities in security and economic development. This transformation is accompanied by new government investments aimed at supporting this transition. For companies already active in sectors related to the defence industry, as well as those whose expertise, technologies or production capabilities could be adapted to this market, this new reality raises a range of strategic, economic and ethical questions.
What will be the economic and industrial impact of this geopolitical repositioning? How can Quebec companies integrate into emerging transatlantic supply chains? What role can Quebec play in this new economic architecture of security and resilience? And how can organizations balance business opportunities, social responsibility, compliance, transparency and ethical considerations in such a sensitive sector as defence?
This discussion will bring together experts to shed light on the strategic choices organizations must make in this new environment.
The team behind the Certification in Ethics and Compliance invites you to this free networking event. We would like to thank Osler for hosting us at its Montreal office, located at 1000 De La Gauchetière Street West, Suite 1100.
