Founded in 1995 by George Di Nardo, formerly of the Canadian Space Agency, Larus is an Ottawa-based AI company with more than 30 years’ experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational intelligence. Our deep expertise in defence and security dates back to our first project with the Canadian Armed Forces in 1999.

We develop world-leading solutions for big data analytics and AI/ML software, turning complex data into decisive action for some of the world’s most demanding industries. These include defence, public safety, and enterprise applications.
