Innovative Solutions Canada is a new Government of Canada innovation procurement program designed to support Canadian small businesses.
Small businesses may partner with organizations such as universities to develop solutions. The application must be submitted by the small business, and any partners would effectively be sub-contractors.
The 20 participating federal departments and agencies will issue challenges through Innovative Solutions Canada. The challenges are designed to seek novel solutions and not commercially available products or services. Each participating department will allocate a minimum of one percent of their 2015-16 procurement and intramural research and development expenditures to support the program.
The first six challenges have been released and include topics such as smart cars and satellite communications. The challenges, along with further details about the program can be found .
