Innovation is a Special Operation.

ONE9 Capability Labs bridges the gap between private innovation and the national security and defence enterprise.

What We Do

ONE9 Capability Labs finds, nurtures, and validates emerging and disruptive national security and defence technologies through public/private partnerships to deliver cutting edge capabilities to national security end-users.

Harnessing years of operational military experience at the forefront of national security operations, and a Task Force of subject matter experts, we work with business and government alike to solve real-world problems through innovation.

  • Whether early stage startups or ONE9 portfolio companies, ONE9 Capability Labs has a proven track record of turning ideas into capabilities. The ONE9 innovation ecosystem is building the companies integral to the future of Canadian, and Allied, national security and defence.

  • ONE9 Capability Labs supports end-users across the intelligence and defence enterprises by identifying capability gaps and developing innovative solutions.

  • Through bespoke testing and evaluation, ONE9 Capability Labs delivers technological effects in the national security and defence environments.

The Lab

Centrally located in the National Capital Region, ONE9 Capability Labs is 5,300 sq/ft of collaborative space, currently housing multiple tenants operating in the national security and defence domains.

A flexible layout, frequent event hosting, and strategic foot traffic make ONE9 Capability Labs the ideal physical space to foster innovation and collaboration between public and private enterprises.
