*All program events will be conducted in English.

*Partners in Technology is a Business Development initiative designed to help Canadian modeling, simulation and serious gaming companies forge partnerships with key systems integrators and prime contractors in the U.S. mid-Atlantic market.

Join the Canadian Embassy on an insightful four-day program in conjunction with the MODSIM World 2008 Conference and Expo* (www.modsimworld2008.com) in Hampton Roads, Virginia, the fastest growing modeling and simulation hub in the United States.

  • Showcase your company to key industry players like Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Booze Allen & Hamilton, and CAE as well as academics, all based in Hampton Roads;
  • Network with your potential systems integrators and R&D partners and learn about their trendsetting modeling and simulation research;
  • Display in the Canada booth as part of the delegation (deadline: August 1)
  • Site visits to Virginia Modelling and Simulation Center (VMASC) and International Business Visitor Center to see what they are working on and how you can participate.
