TKMS and EllisDon have signed a Strategic Teaming Agreement to pursue a long-term, cooperative, and sustainable collaboration in support of the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). Recognizing the strategic importance of Canada’s submarine program and the industrial capabilities needed to sustain it over time, both companies intend to jointly explore, develop, and implement cooperation for submarine maintenance, sustainment, and related infrastructure in Canada.

TKMS has launched the Canadian Defence & Dual-Use Innovation Ecosystem (CDDE) to connect Canada’s research landscape with industrial development, enabling the transition from innovation to deployable, export-ready defence and civilian solutions. Initially focused on maritime and Arctic domains, the initiative strengthens sovereign capability, accelerates time-to-capability, and keeps talent, IP, and value creation in Canada.

TKMS and Seaspan Shipyards have signed a teaming agreement to support the development of a Canadian-led sovereign sustainment capability for the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project. The collaboration combines global submarine lifecycle expertise with established Canadian sustainment capabilities to ensure long-term operational readiness and create lasting industrial value in Canada.

TKMS and Cohere have signed a Teaming Agreement to explore integrating security-first enterprise AI into Canada’s Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP). The collaboration targets decision-support tools, onboard information management, training environments, and naval-grade secure interfaces, with research, prototyping, and evaluation under strict Royal Canadian Navy and Government of Canada security and compliance requirements. The agreement also reinforces TKMS’s long-term commitment to Canadian industry participation across the full platform life cycle, reflecting the principle that submarine building is nation building.

TKMS and Marmen sign a strategic Teaming Agreement to collaborate on producing selected 212CD submarine segments in Canada. Marmen will apply its high-precision manufacturing expertise to support one of the world’s most advanced conventional submarine platforms. The agreement strengthens Québec’s role as a key contributor to Canada’s.
