Montreal positions itself as a leading candidate to host the headquarters of NATO’s defence bank, drawing strong support from key stakeholders.
Leadership Alignment on Strategic Priorities
Last year, Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada and Quebec Premier François Legault convened for their inaugural meeting. They outlined shared priorities, prominently featuring ambitions to establish the city as the global hub for an international defence bank.
Growing Endorsements from Business and Academia
Business leaders, academics, and politicians now rally behind Montreal’s proposal. This unified backing underscores the city’s potential to serve as an ideal location for NATO’s defence bank operations, highlighting its strategic advantages in infrastructure, expertise, and international appeal.
