Testimony

« TeraXion already operates in the U.S., but since the American defence market is quite hard to crack, we’re always looking for ways to step up our presence. At the TDS seminar, we were given a wide range of advice and recommendations on ways to approach the market. I’m very satisfied. »

Senior Technical Advisor

« “SNC-Lavalin ProFac and its team hired TDS to organize meetings with potential suppliers as part of the Joint Support Ship Project. Our two days of meetings allowed us to identify companies with products, services and technology solutions that matched our needs perfectly. When it comes to forging business alliances, TDS is the partner of choice for integrator companies. SNC-Lavalin ProFac was so pleased with the results of this initial collaboration with TDS that it signed on as a major partner for Defence Security Innovation 2007, an event that bodes well for the sector. Thank you to the entire team. »

« The General Dynamics Canada & Thales Industry Day organized by Technopôle Defence and Security in December 2007 was by far the most productive such event that Marinvent has attended. I cannot overemphasize the value of having the right decision makers and Industry Canada in the same room, to ourselves, for almost an hour. I trust that GD and Thales felt the same way. Thanks for the outstanding work. »

John Maris,
President
Marinvent Corporation

« The contributions announced in September 2007 are a testament to the willingness of various levels of government to support industry efforts to develop and promote the defence, security and emergency preparedness sector by fostering synergies between the key stakeholders. This is an excellent example of how public-private partnerships can be used to define a core set of shared priorities. »
