The multi-million-dollar expansion is integral to J-Squared’s 5-phase strategic initiative started in 2023 to develop a network of Secure Innovation Hubs. Spanning Western Canada, Eastern Canada and the Arctic North, the hubs will provide manufacturing and testing support and expertise for startups, SMBs, universities, federal and provincial government departments, and research organizations. The investment into the hubs, equipment and infrastructure underscores J-Squared’s commitment to a strong, sovereign Canada with a robust military technology supply chain.
