The CDA Institute’s May 2025 Force Development Series Report, dissects the staggering change of geopolitics in North America and the importance for Canada to strengthen defence industrial base cooperation and integration with allies.
This report distills insights from military, government, industry, and academia representatives on the need for mutually supportive industrial bases across the Five Eyes nations and the wider NATO alliance; how to best streamline industry and government cooperation on procurement and development; and measures to improve integration, collaboration, and bolster collective defence posture.
With Canada’s Defence Policy Update, ONSAF, Canada provides further research for essential niches in the FVEY intelligence portfolio. Canada is in a unique position to simultaneously diversify as well as cooperate with allies to fortify supply chains to strengthen its long-term ability to tap into differing industries and military markets.
With government and industry both set to benefit from the diversification, Canada can contribute towards efforts to generate stability alongside its partners in an uncertain geopolitical moment.
