Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, Canada

The Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade supports the growth and international success of Ontario's defence, aerospace, and security industries by helping companies expand into global markets, attract investment, and build strategic partnerships.

Ontario is Canada's leading defence and aerospace province, home to more than 300 companies serving global defence, security, aerospace, marine, cyber, and dual-use technology markets. The province offers world-class capabilities in land systems, aerospace manufacturing and maintenance, advanced materials, electronics, sensors, optics, communications, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, simulation and training, additive manufacturing, and precision machining. Ontario companies are integrated into global supply chains and supply products and technologies to leading defence primes, governments, and armed forces around the world.

The Ministry works closely with industry, federal and provincial partners, and international organizations to support Ontario exporters through trade missions, international exhibitions, business-to-business matchmaking, market intelligence, and investment attraction initiatives. The Ministry helps Ontario companies establish new commercial relationships, access procurement opportunities, and strengthen collaboration with international partners, while also assisting European companies in identifying Ontario suppliers, technology partners, and investment opportunities.

At MSPO 2026 the Ministry is proud to showcase Ontario's innovative defence and security sector and facilitate connections between Ontario companies and international customers, integrators, distributors, and government organizations. The Ontario delegation represents a diverse group of companies offering innovative technologies, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and mission-ready solutions designed to meet the evolving requirements of modern defence and security.

Ontario welcomes opportunities to develop long-term partnerships with organizations seeking reliable suppliers, technology collaborators, and investment opportunities. We invite you to visit the Ontario booth to learn more about the province's industrial capabilities and explore opportunities for cooperation with one of North America's most dynamic defence and aerospace ecosystems.
