Government of Canada Investment to Boost Western Presence at International Defence Procurement Events
(firmenpresse) - KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/15 -- Western Economic Diversification Canada
Today, the Honourable Ron Cannan, Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country, on behalf of the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification (WD), announced over $1 million in funding to the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI) to increase the presence of western Canadian defence and security-based industries at international defence procurement events.
With this funding, CADSI will establish a Canada Pavilion at eight key international defence and security events. The pavilion will be branded, and feature a booth space, a lounge, and private meeting rooms. In addition, CADSI will develop two trade missions to Asia-Pacific and/or South American countries based on industry and market priorities.
The primary impact of the WD funding will be to create a stronger and more coordinated presence for the West's dynamic defence and security industries at key international events and promote western-based SMEs by presenting enhanced market access and supply-chain development opportunities.
