Bold Ideas, Big Growth for Canada’s Defence Sector: A Conversation with Hunter Scharfe, CEO of Juno Industries

Hunter Scharfe (Juno Industries CEO) calls for Canada-first defence tech rethink: align deep tech/AI with Arctic realities + national sovereignty, leveraging Toronto/Montreal talent pioneers in AI/quantum.
