Government procurement practices - with respect to fairness across procurement decisions and processes. Galaxia aims to communicate with government officials to highlight (from the perspective of a startup in the defense industry) where we see opportunities or where there are roadblocks to the growth of Canadian SMEs. For example, we see some inequality in how federal program funding seems to be distributed (mostly Ontario and Quebec) and see to share that view so that more equal opportunity may be provided to companies in Atlantic Canada. We would also provide our experience and input into programs like the RDII to encourage the funding of such programs to help build a stronger, more resilient defense ecosystem for Canada. We see opportunity for Canada to better support SMEs in our region and our sector and wish to make sure government officials are aware of all viewpoints so they can make the most informed decisions.Read more
Contract awards or research grants, mostly via DND, DRDC and CSA - with respect to technology demonstration, space compute capability development or satellite mission launch and operations. The goal of Galaxia's communication with federal officials is to build awareness and understanding of Galaxia, our capabilities, and where we can add value for Canada by developing sovereign space capability. We hope to provide clarity on what Galaxia is building here in Canada and how we could partner with Canada to grow our technology, workforce, partnerships and supply chain. If we can share information that helps government officials make informed decisions, we would be happy to provide that.Read more
