Special mention, business opportunities with NATO!

The Québec Regional Office of SMEs at Public Works and Government Services Canada and Canada Economic Development for Québec Regions (CED-Q) are presenting two information sessions taking place on November 16th at 1:00 pm ET. These bilingual sessions aims to help you to seize business opportunities related to Defence and Security procurements from the Canadian government and NATO.

Educate your Company about doing business with NATO!

Are you making the most of the various opportunities for Canadian companies to supply for upcoming NATO procurements? NATO procures annually more than $8Bn of goods and services. Canada, as a NATO member state has privileged access to this market. This session is designed to educate and inform you about the business environment, promoting new opportunities, and explain submission details.

This presentation will be offered by Canadian Country Liaison Officer L. Col. Martin Bédard from Luxembourg.

The NSPA’s mission is to provide responsive, effective, and cost-efficient acquisitions. The NSPA is the executive body of the NATO Support and Procurement Organization (NSPO), of which all 29 NATO nations are members. Those nations work to direct and control the activities of the NSPA, which employs 1100 staff and is headquartered in Luxembourg (Capellan).
