The Canada Pavilion is CADSI’s coordinated platform for presenting Canadian defence and security companies at major international trade shows. It brings firms together under a single national presence, supported by structured programming, shared branding, and on site coordination. For industry, the Pavilion reduces the cost and complexity of entering foreign markets while increasing visibility with buyers, partners, and government stakeholders. Participation helps companies position their capabilities, build qualified relationships, and engage global markets with greater credibility and reach.

Designed to support how you engage.
The Business Zone
The Business Zone is your home base within the Canada Pavilion and a key benefit of the Walker Program. It provides a dedicated space for meetings and on site program activity, including Maple Hour networking. The zone gives you a place to step off the show floor, host conversations, and connect with buyers, partners, and government stakeholders in a focused setting that supports productive engagement.
Engagement Beyond The Show Floor
Coordinated Government Engagement
The Canada Pavilion extends engagement beyond the show floor through close coordination with government partners and trade missions. Working alongside trade commissioners and provincial partners, the program aligns industry presence with diplomatic and trade objectives to increase visibility in priority markets. This coordinated approach strengthens credibility, supports targeted introductions, and ensures Canadian companies engage international stakeholders through trusted government-led channels before, during, and after the show.
