加拿大总理马克·卡尼宣布大幅增加国防开支并推出新的国防工业战略，旨在减少对美军事供应商的依赖、提升经济自给能力并强化北极主权 1。根据该计划，加拿大将在未来五年内额外拨款600亿加元，并规划在十年内投资超过5000亿加元 1。目前加拿大的国防支出约为360亿至430亿加元 1。该战略的目标是创造12.5万个就业岗位，并使国防工业规模扩大两倍 1。
在装备采购方面，加拿大从瑞典萨博购买雷达飞机，并从德国蒂森克虏伯购买潜艇 1。加拿大本土企业及欧洲盟友从中获益，多家初创公司转向军民两用技术研发 1。例如，总部位于滑铁卢大学机器人实验室、距多伦多约60英里（100公里）的New Frontier Robotics，以及展示了一款载重60公斤（132磅）无人机的Volatus Aerospace等企业正积极参与其中 1。此外，本土企业Wuxly已向乌克兰军方供应4万套女性制服 1。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a major expansion of the country's defense industry strategy, aiming to reduce reliance on United States military suppliers, enhance economic self-reliance, and strengthen Arctic sovereignty 1. To achieve these goals, the government plans to allocate an additional 60 billion Canadian dollars over the next five years, building upon current defense spending that ranges from 36 billion to 43 billion Canadian dollars 1. The comprehensive strategy envisions investing over 500 billion Canadian dollars across a decade, with the ultimate objective of expanding the size of the defense industry by two times and creating 125,000 jobs 1.
As part of this initiative, Canada is diversifying its military procurement by purchasing radar aircraft from Sweden's Saab and submarines from Germany's ThyssenKrupp 1. The strategy is also driving a boom for local contractors and European allies, with multiple startups transitioning into dual-use technology research 1. For instance, Wuxly has already supplied 40,000 sets of women's uniforms to the Ukrainian military 1. Meanwhile, New Frontier Robotics, which is headquartered at the University of Waterloo's robotics lab approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Toronto, is among the local enterprises benefiting from the push 1. Additionally, Volatus Aerospace has showcased a drone capable of carrying a 60-kilogram (132-pound) payload 1.
