This was a central topic at a recent luncheon roundtable held at Canada&#8217;s Empire Club in Toronto, featuring panelists from industry and the military.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indexbox.io\/store\/canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Saurabh Popat<\/a>, chair of the Empire Club Board of Directors, noted that allied nations are integrating quantum sensing, secure communications, and advanced computing into their core missions. He indicated the shift from concept to capability is visible in initiatives like NORAD modernization, NATO&#8217;s emerging quantum strategy, and Canada&#8217;s recently released Defense Industrial Strategy. Popat stated defense will be the earliest adopter of these technologies due to significant advantages, warning that Canada must convert its quantum strengths into deployable capability and industrial scale to retain talent, intellectual property, and economic value.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Lambert, CEO of Quantum Industry Canada, said the Defense Industrial Strategy represents a major policy shift, explicitly linking sovereignty, security, and industrial capacity while naming quantum sensing, communications, and computing as sovereign capabilities. She noted the frequent mention of quantum in the document is a deliberate demand signal. Lambert described Canada as moving from assuming security to engineering it and from inventing technologies to anchoring them domestically. While acknowledging Canada&#8217;s leading quantum ecosystem faces commercialization challenges, she asserted that with proper alignment, the country can leverage quantum for both defense and economic prosperity. Lambert emphasized the need for continuous engagement between government, military, and industry, strategic investment mirroring allied efforts, and procurement that matches technology maturity to support rapid deployment, noting quantum&#8217;s inherently dual-use nature.<\/p>\n<p>Lieutenant-General Darcy Molstad, the first Commander of the Canadian Joint Forces Command established in late 2025, stated the new Defense Industrial Strategy shows political will and urgency for operationalizing new capabilities and fostering industry-military partnerships. He said the military&#8217;s approach to engaging with industry has shifted over the last two years toward collaborative problem-solving on current gaps and challenges to enable rapid operationalization. A current focus is establishing a rapid capabilities unit within his organization that includes advisory capabilities on deep technology and venture capital. Molstad expressed that quantum technologies for defense represent an area where Canada can lead and demonstrate to allies it is a net contributor of security technologies, calling for ambitious national projects.<\/p>\n<p>Francesco Bova, an associate professor at the University of Toronto&#8217;s Rotman School of Management, highlighted that quantum in Canada requires significant external financing, differing from other deep-tech domains due to a frequent lack of recurring revenue and a position still largely within the research and development phase.<\/p>\n<p>David Roy-Guay, founder and CEO of SBQuantum, discussed the challenge for quantum startups in gaining access to real-world field deployments. His company developed a novel quantum magnetometer for GPS-independent navigation and detecting hidden objects, which was designed in Canada but built elsewhere. He stressed the critical need for companies to deploy in realistic environments to gather feedback, which can then lead to building more capabilities within Canada. His advice to emerging quantum companies is to start small, engage directly with end-users to demonstrate what needs to be built, and cultivate agility for faster delivery than larger global competitors, rather than focusing on perfection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-alpha-black mb-3\">Interactive table based on the Store Companies dataset for this report.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tSort: Rank<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Company A-Z<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Headquarters A-Z<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t#<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCompany<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHeadquarters<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tFocus<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tScale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tNote<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t1<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTRIUMF<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVancouver, BC<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCyclotrons, ISOL facilities<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge-scale national lab<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCanada&#8217;s particle accelerator centre<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t2<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAdvanced Cyclotron Systems Inc.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRichmond, BC<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMedical cyclotron manufacturing<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial medium-scale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLeading medical isotope producer<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t3<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBest Cyclotron Systems Inc.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVancouver, BC<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMedical cyclotrons<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial medium-scale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDesigns and manufactures turnkey systems<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t4<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBruce Power<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTiverton, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNuclear reactors (Cobalt-60)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge-scale utility<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tProduces isotopes, not accelerators directly<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t5<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCanadian Light Source<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSaskatoon, SK<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSynchrotron light source<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge-scale national facility<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUses electron accelerator<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t6<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCentre for Probe Development and Commercialization<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHamilton, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMedical isotope production<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tResearch\/Commercial<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUses cyclotrons<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t7<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFusion Pharmaceuticals<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHamilton, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTargeted alpha therapies<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBiotech<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUtilizes accelerator-produced isotopes<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t8<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tARTMS Inc.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBurnaby, BC<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIsotope production technology<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tProducts for cyclotron-based isotopes<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t9<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tKA Imaging<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWaterloo, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tX-ray imaging technology<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tUses X-ray sources<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t10<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLinac Technologies<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSainte-Julie, QC<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRF power systems for linacs<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tComponent supplier<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMakes key accelerator components<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t11<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPIPE Nuclear Inc.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tToronto, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNuclear system design<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEngineering<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAccelerator-related systems<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t12<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRadiant Physics Inc.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWaterloo, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCompact X-ray sources<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial small-scale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDevelops electron accelerators<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t13<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSiemens Healthineers Canada (Cyclotron)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOakville, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMedical cyclotron operation<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRadiopharmacy network<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t14<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBWXT Medical Ltd.<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tKanata, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRadioisotope supply<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tParent is US, Canadian subsidiary<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t15<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIon Beam Applications (IBA) Canadian Operations<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLaval, QC<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tParticle therapy systems<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommercial large-scale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBelgian HQ, significant Canadian ops<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t16<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNordion (Canada)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOttawa, ON<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIsotope supply &amp;
