Western Canadian Defence industries Association - "Getting in the Game" Workshop

The capital portion of Canada's Defence budget is slated to grow from $4B/yr to $10B/yr over the next decade. Government policy requires that 15% of this value be directed to Small and Medium Businesses. This means Defence contractors will be looking for up to $1.5B/yr of input from small companies.

Understand the federal policy that ensures Canadian small business and public institutions benefit from military procurement, develop your value proposition to harness these opportunities and gain "hands on" experience with a small group of prime contractors applying the lessons learnt for "getting in the game" while receiving valuable feedback directly from the industry.
