NATO procures annually more than $ 7B of goods and services; Canadian suppliers have privileged access to this market.
Department of National Defence in collaboration Global Affairs Canada invite you to join a VIRTUAL Trade Mission to NATO on 29-30 Mar 2021. You will be introduced to the Canadian Delegation to NATO HQ, NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) and NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). Along with promoting the Canadian Defence Industry, this trade mission will give Canadian companies an opportunity to gain insight into NATO procurement programs and procurement strategies with a focus on how Canadian defence and security companies can sell to NATO.
Senior Canadian representatives from NATO Headquarters in Brussels will provide the strategic military procurement context while NCIA and NSPA program Directors will explain how their respective Agency actually manages the procurement process.
NSPA’s mission is to provide responsive, effective, and cost-efficient acquisitions including armaments procurement; logistics; operational and systems support and services to the Allies, NATO Military Authorities and partner nations. NSPA employs more than 1500 staff and is headquartered in Capellen (Luxembourg).
NCIA’s mission is to develop, procure and support Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance capabilities to NATO. NCIA employs 2500 staff and is headquartered in Brussels (Belgium).
