Defence Procurement 101

Join us for our upcoming Defence Procurement 101 webinar on Tuesday, April 21 from 12–1 PM EST. This introductory session is designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that are new to the defence sector and have never sold into it before, helping them understand how to navigate procurement opportunities within Canada’s defence ecosystem.

This session will feature a fireside chat conversation between Caleb Walker, Director at 123 Cyber, and Randy Purse, Senior Cybersecurity Advisor at the Catalyst. Together, they will discuss practical insights relating to Canada’s defence landscape and generally how procurement works within the sector.

This will include: how Canada’s defence procurement system works, the pathways for engaging with government buyers and prime contractors, and practical steps SMEs can take to prepare for procurement opportunities and position themselves within defence supply chains. The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A focused on procurement readiness and market entry strategies.

Whether you are a growing company exploring government markets, a technology firm with dual-use capabilities, or a business looking to better understand how to supply into the defence sector, this session will provide a procurement overview and practical guidance on how SMEs can engage with Canada’s defence market.
