Industrial & Technological Benefits Policy

• The Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) policy was established to promote

significant business opportunities for Canadian industry through federal defence and security

procurement projects.

• Based on the policy, companies awarded defence contracts are obligated to undertake

business activities in Canada equal to 100 percent of the value of the contract.

• Defence and Canadian Coast Guard contracts valued at over $100M are subject to the

policy; contracts valued between $20M and $100M are reviewed and ITB policy may be

applied.

FedDev Ontario’s ITB Unit

• Our mandate is to promote economic growth

and diversification in southern Ontario.

• We leverage Canada’s ITB policy to connect

Ontario-based companies & researchers with

opportunities to work with Prime contractors

that have won, or are planning to bid on, major

Canadian defence projects.


We do this by promoting Ontario’s industrial capabilities and our strong

innovation ecosystem at regional, national, and international conferences and

trade shows.

34


We also work closely with other Federal & Provincial government departments,

industry associations, post-secondary institutions, research centers, and

companies of all sizes to keep on top of current opportunities and learn about

upcoming ones. These include:

35


This cooperation helps us reach a wide variety of organizations within Ontario’s

aerospace & defence sectors to keep them informed about upcoming industry

events and other opportunities to connect with Prime contractors/Tier 1

suppliers with ITB obligations. If you would like to learn more, please contact

us.
