Transition

IDEaS has worked to create an extensive innovation ecosystem throughout the country which will contribute to the success of military operations through solutions that improve support, knowledge, protection and response to real and potential threats. As the IDEaS program matures, we are currently developing our capacity to transition these industry solutions to DND/CAF for utilization and exploitation.

This process will do this by managing the challenges from cradle to contract completion.

As we progress in 2021, we will continue our efforts of bolstering the transition process to work towards establishment of cohesive, integrated offerings for DND/CAF end users in a particular challenge area. In order to optimize investments and deliver suitable solutions that could be employed we will be working collaboratively with PSPC partners to investigate flexible, innovation-driven procurement to better address DND/CAF needs at the end of the IDEaS continuum. We will also position ourselves to aid with broader innovation efforts and results across DND/CAF by working with innovation hub partners to optimize STI solutions and the associated the return on STI investment.
