Funding guidance

The details that matter.

Overview

Defence Procurement Strategy

We help Canadian companies understand the Industrial and Technological Benefits ecosystem, position capabilities under the right value proposition pillars, and prepare for conversations with primes, obligors, and defence-market partners.

Support primes before award through the VP or after award through ITB fulfillment.

Capability positioning and Canadian Content Value are central to ITB relevance.

Canadian SMBs can be strategically attractive under ITB tools and incentives.

We help convert technical capability into a procurement-facing commercial story.

What This Section Covers

ITB is not a normal grant program. It is a procurement-driven market access framework.

Canadian companies usually need help with fit, positioning, vocabulary, and business development sequence. This section is designed for contract-seeking firms that want to understand how to become useful inside the ITB ecosystem.

Policy Basics

When the policy applies, what ISED does, and why the value proposition matters.

KIC, VP, and CCV

The three concepts most companies need to understand before they approach primes seriously.

Supplier Pathways

How Canadian firms enter before award, after award, and through prime-contractor relationship building.

How We Help

We help companies become easier to buy, easier to credit, and easier to match.

The strongest ITB support is not generic business development. It is a mix of policy interpretation, capability positioning, transaction logic, and market-facing readiness.

Capability Positioning

We map your offer against KICs, value proposition pillars, and likely defence-market relevance.

CCV Awareness

We help clarify whether your Canadian cost structure supports stronger ITB attractiveness.

Prime-Facing Readiness

We help companies present themselves in a way primes can evaluate and use.

Opportunity Mapping

We help focus on realistic pathways instead of unfocused defence-market chasing.
