We look forward to seeing you there 👇
🏛 October 2nd
Topic - Government Procurement and Funding for Deep Tech, Dual-Use & Defence Firms
This will be a deep dive into what deep tech and dual‑use companies need to know to access government procurement and funding: where the money and contracts live, how procurement processes actually work, pitching to defence buyers, and practical next steps to move from prototype to paid contract.
Speakers:
Tarig Abdellatief, Managing Director at Arctech Accelerate
Hugo Hodgett, CEO at H2 Analytics
🧬 October 23rd
Topic - The Future of Quantum Technology
Our speakers will unpack where quantum hardware and software are headed, the practical roadblocks around scaling and error correction, emerging commercial opportunities in sensing, communications, and computing, and the policy and security implications that will shape adoption. Expect perspectives on timelines, investment trends, and what practitioners and organizations should be planning for now.

Dr. Marie D'lorio, President at Deep Tech Canada
Additional Speakers TBA!
