The Ottawa market

Technology companies and public-sector buyers.

Ottawa combines a large technology sector, centred on Kanata, with the federal government as a major buyer. Selling to government and large institutions takes patience, process and an understanding of procurement. We look for reps who have sold to public-sector or technical buyers before.
