$750,000.00

FY 2018-19 · 2018-06-15

Summary
The purpose of this contribution agreement between NRCan and the Canada-Israel Industrial Research and Development Foundation (CIIRDF) is to advance a pilot project on cybersecurity for energy infrastructure. It would: identify and advance joint research and development (R&D) projects to develop technologies to increase the security of energy infrastructure; establish an ongoing business-to-business dialogue between energy and cyber technology companies in both countries; and support the National Cyber Strategy. As a pilot project, the initiative would build partnerships and lay the groundwork for future work to: connect Israeli cyber companies with their Canadian counterparts with a view to establishing joint technology innovation start-ups; undertake R&D activities to develop innovative technologies that could be deployed to increase the security and resilience of energy infrastructure in Canada and other markets; create highly skilled workforces in the growing cybersecurity field; and establish an ongoing technological bridge between participating Canadian energy infrastructure owners and operators.

Description (French)
Cet accord de contribution entre RNCan et la Fondation Canada-Israël pour la recherche et le développement industriels (FCIRDI) a pour objectif de mettre à exécution un projet pilote sur la cybersécurité de l'infrastructure énergétique. Il: déterminera et mettra à exécution des projets mixtes de recherche et de développement (R et D) pour créer des technologies qui augmenteront la sécurité de l'infrastructure énergétique; établira un dialogue permanent entre entreprises oeuvrant dans les domaines de l'énergie et de la cybertechnologie dans les deux pays; et soutiendra la stratégie nationale en matière de cybersécurité. À titre de projet pilote, l'initiative permettra de former des partenariats et de jeter les bases pour les travaux futurs afin de faire ce qui suit: permettre aux entreprises israéliennes en cybersécurité d'interagir avec leurs homologues canadiens afin de créer de nouvelles entreprises mixtes en innovation technologie; réaliser des activités de R et D, afin de créer des technologies novatrices qui pourraient être déployées pour accroître la sécurité et la résilience de l'infrastructure énergétique au Canada et dans d'autres marchés; former une main-d'oeuvre hautement qualifiée dans le domaine en croissance de la cybersécurité; et établir un pont technologique permanent entre les propriétaires et les exploitants de l'infrastructure énergétique canadienne partcipants.
