In a context of profound transformation across industrial ecosystems, Innovitech is strengthening its position in security and defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are proud to entrust the development of this sector to Normand Landry<\/strong>, Innovation, Security and Defense Advisor at Innovitech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With 28 years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces, Norman has held leadership roles in aviation and aerospace, overseeing R&D programs related to aircraft structures for the Royal Canadian Air Force. He led large-scale projects totaling several hundred million dollars, including acquisition and training programs for the CAF and NATO partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following his military career, he continued his engagement as a strategic advisor to the Assistant Deputy Minister (Materials), supporting the transformation of procurement and in-service support practices. He played a key role in major initiatives such as the Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program, contributing to the alignment of capability requirements, innovative contracting models, and long-term public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His influence has also extended to airport development and regional economic growth, where he led high-impact strategic projects for over a decade at the intersection of infrastructure and innovation. His ability to structure collaborative ecosystems and generate sustainable outcomes has consistently created value for the organizations he has supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Innovitech for more than five years, he has supported numerous clients in the aerospace and advanced materials sectors and now leverages this expertise to advance mandates in security and defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Innovitech, security and defense does not represent a strategic shift, but rather a natural extension of our activities in aerospace, advanced air mobility, healthcare, digital technologies, and strategic materials value chains, sectors where sovereignty, resilience, and competitiveness are already central priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the heart of this convergence: dual-use innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technologies capable of serving both civilian and strategic applications, shaping the major industrial trajectories of advanced economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our security and defense support includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The security and defense sector is emerging as a structuring lever at the intersection of technological sovereignty, industrial competitiveness, and national resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
