Area X.0

Good engineering anticipates regulation.

Born Compliant with Area X.O brings together engineering best practices and certification insight to help teams design with approval in mind from day one.

Delivered with TÜV SÜD, this workshop explores how compliance requirements influence system architecture, materials, layout, and testing strategies.

Join us for Deep Dive: Best Design Practices and Engineering, covering:
🛠️ How certification requirements shape design decisions
🛠️ Common design choices that lead to rework during testing
🛠️ How to align engineering timelines with regulatory expectations

If you want a smoother path from design to certification, this workshop is for you.

Designing mission-ready technologies demands more than innovation, it requires precision, compliance, and rigorous testing.

Join Area X.O, operated by Invest Ottawa, and TÜV SÜD for an exclusive Defence EMC/EMI, Structural and Environmental Workshop tailored for innovators developing next-generation defence, aerospace, and advanced engineering systems.

Gain practical insights to:
➡️ Navigate MIL-STD-461G and DO-160 standards for emissions and immunity
➡️ Simulate extreme environmental and operational conditions
➡️ Validate system reliability and performance in every scenario
➡️ Apply HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) to strengthen your engineering process

Build, test, and certify systems that deliver when it matters most.
