WB GROUP signed four agreements with Canadian partners at the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Kielce. The agreements with CAE, WESCAM, Robotics Centre and Rosborough Boats cover cooperation in unmanned systems, training and operational readiness, electro-optical technologies, local production and maritime solutions.
Canada is becoming an increasingly important partner for Poland’s defence industry. As the Lead Nation at MSPO 2026, it brought its largest-ever defence and security trade delegation to Kielce.
On the opening day of the exhibition, WB GROUP signed a cooperation agreement with Canadian company CAE. The document was signed by Piotr Wojciechowski, President of WB GROUP, and Thibaut Trancart, Vice President and General Manager at CAE.
The signing ceremony was attended by Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka, Secretary of State at Poland’s Ministry of National Defence; David McGuinty, Canada’s Minister of National Defence; and Maninder Sidhu, Canada’s Minister of International Trade.
The collaboration aims to combine WB GROUP’s expertise in advanced unmanned platforms with CAE’s capabilities in simulation, synthetic training environments and mission rehearsal.
The partners will explore opportunities to develop solutions supporting the integration, fielding and operational readiness of autonomous systems, with potential customers in Canada, Poland and other allied nations.
On the second day of MSPO, WB GROUP signed three further agreements with WESCAM, Robotics Centre and Rosborough Boats. The signing was attended by Victor Fedeli, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade, and Emmanuelle Lamoureux, Canada’s Ambassador to Poland.
The agreement with WESCAM covers electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) systems and their potential integration into WB GROUP solutions. One area under consideration is the integration of EO/IR sensor turrets into Polish reconnaissance and strike systems for customers in Canada and Poland.
Robotics Centre specialises in unmanned aerial vehicle production and recently opened a new facility in Ottawa. Its agreement with WB GROUP focuses on opportunities to draw on these manufacturing capabilities to produce Polish unmanned systems in Canada for the domestic market.
Rosborough Boats is an established Canadian boatbuilder with extensive experience, including deliveries to the Canadian navy. Under the agreement, the partners will explore the use of Canadian-built platforms to further develop the STORMRIDER unmanned surface system, as well as potential sales opportunities in Europe and North America.
MSPO 2026 also saw the establishment of a new framework for government-to-government cooperation. Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, and David McGuinty, Canada’s Minister of National Defence, signed an agreement on bilateral defence cooperation. One of its focus areas is industrial collaboration, including opening the Canadian market to Polish weapon systems and unmanned technologies.
WB GROUP’s four agreements with Canadian partners directly support this approach. They cover the introduction of Polish technologies to the Canadian market and potential local production, alongside joint projects for customers in Poland, Canada and other allied nations.
