Beyond capital, CSG brings deep industrial expertise, extensive knowledge of defence markets, and a strong presence across Europe and around the world. We share the same vision of rapidly building modern defence capabilities for Canada, NATO, and other allied nations, and we believe this partnership will significantly accelerate both the growth of North Vector Dynamics and the deployment of our technologies into operational use,” said Dr. Paul Ziadé, Co-Founder and CEO of North Vector Dynamics.This investment pairs complementary strengths. NVD contributes products developed through Canadian-owned and controlled intellectual property and design and engineering authority, while CSG contributes its industrial base, systems integration expertise, and an international commercial network.Listed on Euronext Amsterdam, CSG exports its products to more than 70 countries worldwide, employs more than 14,000 people, and reported revenues of EUR 6.7 billion in 2025.

Autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, precision guidance, and cost-effective air defence are becoming increasingly important. North Vector Dynamics is developing a series of interceptors with the potential to fundamentally shape these capabilities in the years ahead. That is why we decided not only to become an investor, but above all a long-term strategic partner of the company. In addition to capital, we want to provide our industrial expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and commercial network in Ukraine, across NATO member states, and with partner nations around the world,” said Michal Strnad, Chairman of the Board and CEO of CSG.Sovereign Canadian Missile Capability to Serve NATO Allies and PartnersNVD was established in 2022 to develop next-generation technologies for air and missile defence.
