Aerospace
Significant investments in R&D have helped make Canada a world leader in aerospace products, ranking in the top countries for civil aircraft, engines and flight simulators. Solutions that government buyers are looking for include:
- Aircraft manufacturing (fixed wing, rotary)
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul services
- Training systems
- Satellites
Canadian aerospace and aviation companies can sell their solutions to foreign governments through our International Prime Contractor program or to the U.S. military through our U.S. DoD Prime Contractor program.
Case study – Viking Air
Aided by a government to government (G2G) contract with CCC, Viking Air Ltd., signed a $65-million (U.S.) contract to sell 12 Twin Otters to the government of Peru. Viking Air also sold a DHC-6 Series 400 Twin Otter aircraft with pilot training and flight simulation to Argentina’s Federal Police through a G2G contract.
Case study – Cascade Aerospace
Through the U.S. DoD Prime Contractor program, Cascade Aerospace was awarded a contract (valued up to USD $45 million) with the U.S. Air Force for the installation of critical upgrades to C-130J cargo aircraft.
Case study – Bombardier
We signed a contract with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, for the purchase of three new Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft. This will allow the national carrier to increase its domestic connectivity and services to neighboring countries.
Case study – Bell Helicopter

We helped Field Aviation navigate the complex U.S. DoD purchasing rules to support the sale of seven Dash 8 Maritime patrol aircrafts to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Clean technologies
Whether you produce smart grids, smart city technologies, transportation solutions, or other environmental solutions, CCC can help you sell your cleantech solutions to foreign governments. Solutions that government buyers are looking for include:
- Renewable power generation
- Smart water and waste water
- Recycling and recovery
Case study – Terragon
With a vision to make everything from remote military bases to resorts and cruise ships as environmentally self-sustainable as possible, Terragon Environmental Technologies won a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to deploy its prototype waste and water management technology in the field as a single, integrated system.

MOU – Canadian Solar Institute
Sri Lanka Ministry of Power and Energy, and Business Development signed an agreement to construct a 100 megawatt floating solar park. This was made possible due to CCC, and a joint venture that includes Canadian Solar Institute.
MOU – Government of Pakistan
In 2017 we signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan to set up 1,000 megawatts of solar power capacity. While this particular project was not fully realized, it demonstrates the services we provide to help Canadian companies succeed in the international market.
Infrastructure
International infrastructure projects continue to present compelling opportunities for Canadian firms. The pandemic has accelerated the shift to public–private partnership financing models, requiring Canadian companies to think differently about what they offer and how to set their value proposition apart. Solutions that government buyers are looking for include:
- Water and waste water infrastructure
- Power and communications
- Transportation (airports, railroads)
- Social (hospitals, schools, housing)
Canadian businesses can request Government of Canada advocacy for their international infrastructure and construction projects through our International Prime Contractor program or to the U.S. military through our U.S. DoD Prime Contractor program.
Case study – Groupe Helios
Through the support of CCC and EDC, Groupe Helios will support the rehabilitation of the Guajimia storm and sanitary water sanitation system in the Dominican Republic. The Project will involve the removal of waste; civil infrastructure works; and the construction of necessary residential units to house families that will be relocated by the storm and sanitary drainage works.
Case study – Aecon
A contract for a new airport was signed between the City of Quito in Ecuador, and CCC. The US$415 million project was completed by Canada’s Aecon and Andrade Gutierrez Constructores – one of the largest construction companies in Brazil.
Aecon was also leveraged a government-to-government (G2G) contract between CCC and the Government of Bermuda, to deliver a new, world-class airport terminal and associated infrastructure for the L.F. Wade International Airport.
Case study – JV Driver
In partnership with CCC and through a government to government (G2G) contract, Canadian company JV Driver completed a second pier at Port Zante, St. Kitts & Nevis that can accommodate the new Oasis class mega cruise ships to meet the demands of the nation’s expanding tourism market.
JV Driver and CCC also collaborated on a $127M project in Ghana. The inland container terminal includes a container freight station, a warehouse, a car park, and an open area for unloading and for the storage of containers. Banking, customs and security services will be on-site for increased efficiency as an international shipping and receiving terminal.
Defence
CCC has been helping foreign defence departments, including the U.S. Department of Defence, to procure made-in-Canada solutions for over 65 years. Our depth of experience is reflected in the billion of dollars that we have facilitated through our U.S. DoD Prime Contractor and International Prime Contractor programs.
Defence buyers need a variety of military and non-military goods. Here are some examples:
- Armoured vehicles and survivability systems
- Special mission aircraft and aircraft missionization
- Surface combatant, joint support and off-shore patrol ships
- In-service support solutions
- Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems

Case study – S&S Turbine Services
The Chilean Navy required the urgent overhaul and maintenance of RR marine turbines, and turned to CCC with Canadian company S&S Turbines Services to fulfil this need within 160 days.
ICT
Information and communications technology (ICT) companies face a number of obstacles when trying to sell their solutions to foreign governments. Some require unique solutions, and are comfortable buying individual components that can be integrated into their existing systems. Others want a complete solution that works right out of the box, and reduces implementation and operation risk.
We work with Canadian companies to position their solutions with foreign governments and help to reduce procurement risk through our Government of Canada guarantee. Government buyers are looking for the following ICT solutions:
- Cyber security (intrusion protection systems, critical infrastructure protection systems)
- Voice, data and video networking solutions
- Public safety and security solutions
- Smart public infrastructure
- Financial and regulatory technologies (FinTech . RegTech)
- Simulation and training
Canadian businesses can request Government of Canada advocacy for their international infrastructure and construction projects through our International Prime Contractor program or to the U.S. military through our U.S. DoD Prime Contractor program.
