Cohere is partnering with Thales Canada to bring its artificial intelligence technology to Royal Canadian Navy fleets, marking one of the Toronto AI company’s first deployments in national defence. Thales will use Cohere’s agentic AI platform to support operation and maintenance contracts for Arctic and offshore patrol ships, joint support ships, and other naval vessels.
Cohere co-founder Ivan Zhang said the partnership represents a “strategic leap” toward secure, sovereign AI. The deal arrives amid heightened government investment in defence and industrial benefits policies. Cohere has raised $1.6 billion USD to date and recently crossed $200 million in annual recurring revenue.
