Canadian space innovation
is solving today's biggest challenges on Earth
and in space.

And in order to compete in the global space race,
we are investing, scaling and creating the jobs of the future.
The time is now to invest in space, Canada.

Space Canada presents:

SpaceBound 2023

Space Canada’s annual conference will take place at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa on October 18-19th, 2023. The two-day conference will feature networking opportunities with thought leaders from the space ecosystem and discussions on key topics and industry trends.

Tickets are available for purchase starting August 10th, 2023 at https://space-bound.ca/.

We are
Canada’s space
innovators

Together we employ thousands of people across Canada, and around the world, who work on advanced technologies to serve hard-to-reach markets and communities.

$2.5 billion
to Canada's economy

There is a global race to lead in space innovation — and space has a big and positive impact on Canada's economy.

The time is now to make investments in Canadian space innovation to ensure Canada wins this race. Without investment Canada would fall behind.

How are we solving
our generation's biggest challenges?

Investing in the new space economy

From R&D to advanced solutions, investment by Canadian space companies are delivering big economic benefits to Canada and innovations to the world.

We are tracking emissions to help reduce them.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our generation. Canadian space technology is being used to measure our changing planet.

When Canada is in orbit more of the world goes digital

Providing fibre-like high-speed Internet and 5G solutions to northern, rural and Indigenous communities is a big challenge. Canada’s space innovators are creating global solutions.

High opportunity
Higher stakes for Canada

Canada is in a fiercely competitive global space race. As space becomes more accessible, countries around the world are prioritizing, investing and partnering with their domestic space companies. Canada can win this race and Canada’s space innovators are ready to lead the way.

We are tracking forests from space to help protect them.

Canadian space technology tracks forests, sea ice, and ocean and land ecosystems to monitor their health, protecting them for future generations.

More growth in space innovation for better growth here on earth

Canadian-built satellites, ground-based facilities and technologies provide key data that help farmers monitor their crops, enabling sustainable land usage.

Space Innovations become everyday solutions.

With generational leaps in computing, robotic surgery and other medical advancements, Canada’s space innovators are creating solutions that extend far beyond the reaches of space.

From Coast,
to Coast, to Coast
and everything
in between

Investments in space-based solutions and technology are helping protect our sovereignty by monitoring and connecting Canada’s farthest borders.

Designed and built in Canada deployed into the Universe

From our pioneering start over 60 years ago, Canadian designed and built space technologies play an essential role in the exploration of space, including efforts to explore the Moon and beyond.
