ITAC INSIDER
Mission to India
ITAC Leads is third trip to Mumbai
 ITAC will lead its third ICT mission to India October 26-30, 2015. Previous missions have shown the tremendous potential of the Indian marketplace for Canadian technology solutions.
By leveraging the assets of Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service and Export Development Canada, ITAC has brought mission participants face-to-face with major players in the Indian ICT ecosystem. Many have returned to Canada with significant orders, partnership leads and new ideas about how to enter this immense market.
With one of the fastest growing and most sophisticated wireless networks in Asia, many Indian carriers see themselves as key instruments in service delivery. This translates into opportunities for Canadian companies in digital content, e-health and cyber security.
There are only a few funded spots remaining. For more information contact Lynda Leonard

THE ICT DEBATE!
Keeping our sector priorities plugged into our federal election.
With the federal election upon us, ITAC wants to ensure the association's four key priorities are front and centre. To do so, we will be reaching out to each party leader, asking how they intend to support Canada's ICT sector, and reporting their responses to ITAC membership.
We are also encouraging our members to do the same, urging them to engage with their local members of Parliament on issues related to ICT. Together we can make the advancement of ICT a priority during the election period and make certain our issues are integrated into party platforms.
We will be posting copies of our communications with the each party online, adjusting our website messaging to focus on our ICT priorities, and distributing party responses to you throughout the campaign period.
For further information and/or to feedback please contact Kelly Hutchinson
