Why it matters
This is one of the few recurring Chinese domestic venues where civilian technology companies can engage directly with PLA procurement and logistics officers, making it a rare structured channel into Chinese military supply chains.
- For dual-use SMEs and tech firms in AI, IoT, unmanned systems, and cybersecurity, the event offers direct demand-signal access that is otherwise difficult to obtain.
- Western and allied defence analysts should monitor exhibitor and delegation lists as an indicator of PLA civil-military fusion procurement priorities.

Annual Meeting of the Supply Chain
Lévis / Canada
This is the primary procurement-facing event for Quebec's naval supply chain, where federal ministers have used the platform to announce National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) contracts and submarine procurement updates — making it a critical intelligence touchpoint for any company seeking Davie, Royal Canadian Navy, or Canadian Coast Guard business. With ~750 participants and ~65 exhibitors, it is compact enough for SMEs and startups to gain direct access to prime contractors such as Chantier Davie and Thales Canada. Pre-scheduled B2B meetings with national and international outsourcers give exhibitors a structured path to new contracts.
