Intellectual Property Strategy and Advisory Support

The Canadian Space Agency is seeking strategic advisory support to guide intellectual property management, commercialization pathways, freedom-to-operate assessments, and technology transfer frameworks that directly align with its research and development goals. This subcontract opportunity requires expert guidance on navigating IP landscapes to protect innovations, identify commercialization opportunities, and ensure that CSA-funded technologies can be developed and deployed without infringement risks. The contractor must demonstrate deep expertise in space-related R&D environments and the ability to deliver actionable, tailored recommendations that support CSA’s mission-driven priorities. All proposals must be submitted by July 8, 2026, and the work is expected to be performed in Longueuil, Quebec. The contract falls under NAICS code 541611, which pertains to management consulting services, emphasizing the need for high-level strategic input rather than operational or technical execution. This engagement is aimed at strengthening the agency’s ability to manage its intellectual assets effectively, enhance technology maturation, and foster partnerships that leverage space innovations for broader societal and economic impact. The opportunity is open to qualified providers with a proven track record in advising public sector science and technology organizations on IP strategy and technology transfer.
