In Episode 5, we’re joined by Mike Nelson, founder and CEO of TACTIQL. A veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who served overseas, Mike turned his focus to defence tech innovation after leaving the military. He explains how his company is helping standardise and integrate disparate sensor and intelligence systems, why Ottawa is the heart of Canada’s defence innovation ecosystem, and how mission focus and perseverance still guide him, whether in uniform or in entrepreneurship. Tune in to hear how Mike and TACTIQL are bringing commercial scale tech to the national defence domain.
