Having the opportunity to tell the J-Squared story and
contributing to the next growth chapter. I'm certainly biased,
but I believe J-Squared has an amazing story to tell. We are
proudly homegrown Canadian and for 35 years we have
been serving the defence/military sector and other harsh-
environment markets with high-quality embedded computing
products and related services across the end-to-end product
lifecycle: design, build/fabrication, test, maintenance and
support.

I believe J-Squared is in a unique position within Canada to
bring innovative products to market to serve the needs of the
defence and security industry. This belief is based on a few key
factors baked into our company's DNA. First, we are financially
independent. No dependency on outside funding affords us the
autonomy and flexibility required to make strategic decisions
swiftly. Second, our team is aligned on shared values and a
mission to showcase R&D and manufacturing excellence
as a proud, 100 per cent Canadian-owned and operated
company. Finally, we have the right breadth and depth of
capabilities to support the end-to-end product lifecycle - from
ideation/design, fabrication/build, qualification and testing
to deployment and in-service support services. This is only
possible due to our amazing cross-functional team of R&D,
product, and operational experts.

Focus on finding the solution, not dwelling
on the problem. Unforeseen challenges
come up all the time - no matter how
prepared you are - what's important is
rising up and overcoming them.
