Join invited guests, delegations and media on September 29 2026, for exclusive live demonstrations of Canada’s most advanced next-gen technologies at Area X.O.
The Defence and Dual-Use Zone is the centre of GCXpo 2026 and of Ottawa’s role as Canada’s Defence Innovation Hub. This is where Canadian companies demonstrate the technologies behind national security, sovereign capability, and resilient infrastructure, in front of the people who can help move them from proven to deployed.
Programming runs on a dedicated stage and includes:
Come see how Canadian innovators, government, and industry are building sovereign capability together. Sovereignty is about building strength at home to choose the right partners and the right technologies on Canada’s terms.

The Agri-Tech Zone brings growers, innovators, and industry together to demonstrate the technology changing how Canada produces, manages, and protects its food and resource systems. Its dedicated stage features:
From growers to national strategists, this is where agricultural innovation meets the systems that keep Canada resilient.
GCXpo will showcase cooperative technology projects with dozens of companies that aim to create safe smart mobility solutions of the future. Contact us at [email protected] to explore GCXpo partnership opportunities.
