Data Watts Partners Inc. (DWTZ), a technology-focused investment firm, has made a strategic investment in a high-growth defence technology company, marking its first foray into the sector. The move underscores the firm’s commitment to the “Data Watts economy,” a concept that encompasses advanced technologies such as uranium, small modular reactors (SMRs), AI applications, and quantum computing.
“We are proud to support high-tech initiatives engaging in frontier markets,” stated Ron Loborec, CEO of Data Watts. “The growth of the Canadian and NATO ally defence sector, as they expand relative to GDP, will spark innovations that are vital to the Data Watts economy.”
The defence sector has long been a leader in advanced high-tech applications, making it a natural fit for Data Watts’ investment portfolio. Under the terms of the agreement, Data Watts will acquire 100,000 shares of the defence company for 160,000 shares of Data Watts, at a deemed value of $0.50 per share. The investment is subject to a stringent nondisclosure agreement, with further details expected to be released on October 15th, 2025, or as agreed upon by the parties.
The defence company, led by seasoned executives, is well-positioned to capitalize on the revitalization occurring in the defence sector. The investment aligns with Data Watts’ strategy of leveraging expertise in exploration, infrastructure, and wattage demand trends to drive transformative opportunities in energy and deep tech.
The defence sector’s historical role as a pioneer in advanced technologies makes it a strategic fit for Data Watts’ investment portfolio. The sector’s focus on innovation and high-tech applications aligns with Data Watts’ commitment to the Data Watts economy, which emphasizes the integration of advanced technologies to drive economic growth and development.
The investment also highlights the growing importance of the defence sector in the context of global security and geopolitical dynamics. As NATO allies and other defence partners expand their defence budgets, the sector is poised for significant growth and innovation. Data Watts’ investment in the defence company is a strategic move that positions the firm to benefit from this growth while contributing to the development of advanced defence technologies.
The investment is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, the satisfaction of any condition precedents under the nondisclosure agreement, and the inherent risks associated with an investment in the defence sector. However, the potential benefits of the investment are significant, with the defence company poised to drive innovation and growth in the sector.
As the defence sector continues to evolve, Data Watts’ investment in the defence company is a strategic move that positions the firm to capitalize on the sector’s growth and innovation.
