What is local to Ottawa
Registering to sell to the federal government costs nothing: a business opens an SAP Business Network account through CanadaBuys, completes its profile and fills out the Government of Canada questionnaire, which needs a CRA business number. Winning a first contract can mean hiring, fitting out space or buying vehicles before the first payment; a term loan funds that build-up in one amount, repaid in fixed instalments.
The federal public service had 111,200 employees on the Ontario side of the National Capital Region on March 31, 2026, out of 146,149 in the whole region. Invest Ottawa counts more than 1,800 tech companies and 88,000 tech workers in the city.
