BLDP

I think the future is big companies and consolidation. Little companies start off nimble, but then to grow they eventually have to get big.
I could see PNG + FLT + BLDP + BB all merged up into a green, defense, automation and AI company. Maybe even toss in MDA Space with their satellite stuff.
Although, we could also see some kind of unexpected mergers with European companies (I wouldn't even know what names could be in play there). But if Carney is hardcore serious about integrating with Europe, then I would expect a NATO-like integration of anyone heavily selling into DND.
