Industrial Technological Benefits (ITB)

Deltic supports defence contractors with Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits policy, helping identify Canadian partners and develop compliant ITB strategies for government procurements.

Supporting Compliance With Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy

Understanding Canada’s ITB Policy

Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) Policy leverages defence and Canadian Coast Guard procurements to support domestic jobs, innovation, and long-term industrial capability. Under the policy, companies awarded qualifying defence contracts are contractually required to undertake business activities in Canada equal to the value of the contracts they have won.

The ITB Policy generally applies to defence and Canadian Coast Guard procurements valued at over $100 million that are not subject to trade agreements or where a national security exception applies. Procurements valued between $20 million and $100 million may also be reviewed for potential application of the policy.

Identifying Canadian Capabilities and Partners

Deltic assists foreign bidders, prime contractors, and partners in identifying Canadian companies, capabilities, and industrial opportunities that can contribute meaningfully toward ITB obligations. This includes matching program requirements with Canadian suppliers, service providers, and technology partners that align with the policy’s intent and contractual requirements.

Supporting ITB Strategy Development

ITB activities are intended to deliver lasting value to Canada’s defence industrial base. Deltic supports the development of ITB strategies that align with one or more of the policy’s core objectives, including:

strengthening the long-term sustainability of Canada’s defence industry
supporting growth of Canadian primes and suppliers, including small and medium-sized businesses across regions
>enhancing innovation through Canadian-based research and development
increasing export potential and international competitiveness of Canadian firms
addressing skills and training gaps within the Canadian economy

Deltic works with partners at the proposal stage and throughout program execution to help ensure ITB commitments are realistic, compliant, and achievable
