Description

What does it really take to break into the defence sector? Join Andrea Oh, CEO of Savvy Knowledge, and Doug Griffiths, President and CEO of the Edmonton Chamber, for a candid fireside chat about the journey so far: pursuing federal procurement, navigating the barriers that can stall it, and securing first contracts with defence industry suppliers. Hear about lessons learned, the relationships that mattered, and what she would do differently. Whether you're new to the sector or actively pursuing opportunities, you'll leave with practical, real-world insights. 

Savvy Knowledge is a Calgary-based technology company that helps organizations verify their people can perform critical skills to standard. Its patented skills validation platform, Move Improve, captures both observable performance and what can't be seen, such as what a person notices, feels and thinks through, and verifies performance without an expert physically present. Savvy Knowledge works across defence, healthcare and high-risk industries, where human error carries real consequences.
