The Canadian Defence and Dual-Use Market: How to Capitalise on the Potential of the MSPO Exhibition in Kielce?

25 June 2026
How can you effectively prepare for cooperation with the Canadian defence sector and fully capitalise on the opportunities presented by this year's edition of the International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO)? The answers to these questions will be delivered during a free webinar organised by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) in cooperation with Targi Kielce.

The online meeting will take place on 29 June 2026, at 2:00 PM and is tailored for entrepreneurs operating in the defence, cybersecurity, and dual-use technology sectors who are interested in expanding their cooperation with Canadian partners.

Focusing on Canada is no coincidence. During the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition, held from 8 to 11 September 2026, at Targi Kielce, Canada will feature as the Lead Nation. This year's MSPO promises to be the largest in the event's history—over 100 Canadian companies have already confirmed their participation, representing industries such as defence, cybersecurity, space technologies, unmanned systems, and advanced military electronics. Representatives of the Canadian government, along with numerous economic and military delegations, will also be present in Kielce.

During the webinar, experts from the PAIH Polish Investment and Trade Agency, the PAIH Foreign Trade Office in Toronto, and Targi Kielce will present:

  • The potential of the Canadian defence and dual-use sector,
  • Opportunities for collaboration with Canadian business and institutional partners,
  • Export support instruments offered by PAIH,
  • Practical tips regarding participation in MSPO 2026 and B2B match-making,
  • Key trends and developmental directions of the Canadian defence market.

The speaker lineup includes representatives from PAIH and Targi Kielce, featuring Arkadiusz Krzeczkowski, Director of the Trade Fair Department, and Małgorzata Róg-Giacosa, Director of the Marketing Department.

Participation in the event is free of charge, but prior registration is required: [LINK]
