Canadian Construction Association

Published purpose

This proposed CTO contribution will give some innovation focused Canadian SME's access to construction industry experts and influencers, that can serve as both a potential target customer segment, and that can provide active feedback for further innovation.  Additionally, Canadian construction firms can benefit by exposure to new technologies that may impact increases in profitability, better efficiency, greater safety and many other areas for potential innovation. Last year, we expanded the number of firms supported from 3 to 5, with all presenting at the CCA AGM in Quebec City in March 2025. This year, we are proceeding with support for 5 SME's, and in addition to the AGM, adding a second presentation event at Construct Canada in Toronto in December 2025.
