This year's visit aims to connect businesses and commercial enterprises to the recent announcement by NATO and the Federal Government that Halifax, Canada, is to host the North American regional office of the NATO - Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).

Chef de Mission, Vice Admiral (Ret'd) Mark Norman prefaces the event by stating,

"We are at a historic time with the accession of Sweden and Finland into NATO. I am honoured to once again lead a group of industry leaders on this visit to Brussels to explore their contributions to industrial cooperation and dual-use technologies to strengthen the Alliance.”

“Through the NPSE visit program, our goal is to introduce innovative defence and dual-use companies working in the Canadian, North American and European markets to NATO opportunities and institutions.”
