Looking to sell or test your pre-commercialized goods and services with the Government of Canada? Join the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises (PWGSC) to learn about the Build in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP) and how it helps companies bridge the pre-commercialization gap by procuring and testing late stage innovative goods and services within the federal government before taking them to market.
Many smaller Canadian companies that have developed new and innovative products and technologies struggle to find buyers due to the higher risks associated with untested products. Suppliers often say it is difficult to find a common point of entry into the federal government procurement system, particularly for innovative technologies. BCIP addresses this challenge by connecting innovators and government users and by testing innovations.
Join the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises and 2 successful BCIP companies, Star Solutions and MetaOptima, for an interactive discussion about how BCIP helped support their innovations.
