About ONE9
ONE9 is a Canadian national-security technology investment and innovation platform that funds and helps scale defence, security, and dual-use companies while connecting private-sector capability with public-sector demand.
Operating context
ONE9 operates as Kensington Capital Partners' national-security and dual-use investment platform. Its self-described model combines venture investment with Capability Labs work spanning problem discovery, product development, venture formation, commercialization, readiness assessment, field validation, integration and government and defence market entry. Its July 23, 2026 CanadaBuys partner listing for the Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace identifies Ottawa-based Capability Labs as an interested advisory and technology-validation partner. The listing offers an identifiable teaming route; it is a supplier's expression of interest and does not show DDI qualification or an award.
