From May 26–28, 2026, the Latvian defense and security industry delegation will participate in CANSEC, Canada’s premier defense and security trade show, held at the EY Centre in Ottawa. Organized by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI), this event serves as a global hub for the latest technologies and services across land, naval, aerospace, and joint force military units.
The Latvian delegation, led by the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia in collaboration with the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) and the Embassy of Latvia in Canada, arrives with a mission to strengthen transatlantic partnerships and foster high-level industrial cooperation.
