Canada will spend more on national defence over the next 15 years than it has in the past several decades, creating a massive opportunity for Edmonton businesses.

Join the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce on October 14th for Business on the Base, where businesses will hear directly from federal procurement experts about how to land federal contracts.

Over the summer, the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce held its inaugural Defence Procurement Summit, where we convened members of the Canadian Armed forces and the Department of National Defence to teach businesses how Canada’s procurement system works for federal contracts.

Business on the Base will bring Edmonton businesses out to CFB Edmonton to once again give them insight and training in the federal procurement process. This event goes one step further than our previous summit, bringing business owners to the place where their products can make a real difference. Whether it’s backpacks or buildings, catering or custom tailoring, Canada’s bolstered defence spending prioritizes local contractors, businesses, and entrepreneurs to help revitalize the Canadian Armed Forces.

Whether you’re new to federal defence procurement or attended our previous summit, Business on the Base is a great opportunity to hone your procurement knowledge while expanding your network of contacts.
