A pre-DEFSEC supplier event presented by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency & the Atlantic Canada Aerospace & Defence Association.

The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), in collaboration with the Atlantic Canada Aerospace & Defence Association (ACADA), cordially invites you to participate in an upcoming supplier engagement event with TKMS as a pre-DEFSEC initiative.

TKMS is a German naval shipbuilding company with more than 185 years of naval expertise. The company is a global systems supplier for submarines, naval surface vessels, maritime electronics and security technologies.

On August 26, 2025, TKMS was selected by the Government of Canada as one of two qualified suppliers in the tender for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).

The TKMS industry event will be of special interest to firms that have capabilities supporting production and sustainment of Canada’s future submarines. It will also be of interest to companies and research organizations with products, services and R&D projects potentially supporting TKMS’s various segments.

TKMS’s goal is to satisfy ITB requirements by creating added value in the Canadian economy in areas including:

ISS phase: development of depot level maintenance capabilities at local industry (nationwide) and supplier qualification (know-how & technology transfer), by involvement of the respective TKMS 1^st Tier suppliers;
Establishment and expansion of operational training & simulation centers (West and East Coast);
Creating long-term local manufacturing opportunities;
R&D cooperation on innovative technologies with Canadian universities, research Institutes or local companies (e.g., technologies that align with Government of Canada Key Industrial Capabilities Key industrial capabilities);
Economic development projects and industrial cooperation activities in various technology areas (e.g. green/renewable energies, clean technology, arctic, automotive, artificial intelligence, big data, 3D manufacturing, robotics);
Create sustainable development opportunities in Canada with a focus on Indigenous organizations.

Company representatives will be presenting at the Halifax Convention Centre at 1:00 pm on Monday, September 29, 2025, to provide an overview of TKMS’s Type 212CD submarine, as well as areas of potential collaboration. Following the presentations, there will be an opportunity for a limited number of Atlantic Canadian companies and organizations to meet one-on-one with TKMS officials during a B2B program organized by ACOA. TKMS representatives will include experts from its Canadian office, experts for ITB and technical leads responsible for the CPSP.
