Defence, Security & Indigenous Participation
NineIrons is uniquely positioned to support
Indigenous participation in Canada’s
defence and national security sector at the
intersection of procurement policy, inclusion
requirements, and major capital programs.
With relationships across DND, PSPC, and the
defence industrial base, we help government
and prime contractors meet Indigenous
participation obligations while building
genuinely sustainable business capacity.
Indigenous participation in Arctic security and
Canadian sovereignty offers a powerful
alignment between national defence and
economic reconciliation. As Canada invests in
northern infrastructure, surveillance, and
logistics, Indigenous Nations can serve as codevelopers through equity ownership, workforce development, and Indigenous-led
monitoring services.
