Launched in 2007, the Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative (SADI) provides repayable contributions for innovative research and development (R&D) projects in the Canadian aerospace, defence, space and security industries. The Industrial Technologies Office (ITO) publishes a semi-annual status report on repayments to enhance transparency.

Projects are typically undertaken over a 5-year period with repayments commencing 2 years following the (R&D) phase. Repayments can be unconditional or based on the recipient's gross business revenues, and will generally span over a 15-year period. Repayments collected to date are on track and consistent with the early stage of repayments under SADI.

SADI Program Highlights:

  • Total number of active projects: 32
  • Projects in the R&D phase (repayments are not yet due): 18
  • Projects in the repayment phase: 14
  • Total authorized assistance for all projects: $1.53 billion
  • Total disbursements to date: $863 million
  • Total cumulative repayments collected to date: $19 million

Explanatory notes:

  • Contribution Date: is the date that a company signed its contribution agreement.
  • Company: is the name of the legal entity which currently has a SADI contribution agreement.
  • Authorized Assistance: represents the maximum amount contracted at the time of the initial contribution agreement, or the contribution agreement's latest amended assistance amount. As the R&D progresses and a project reaches its conclusion, the final disbursed amount could be much lower.
  • Net Expenditures: represents the total amounts disbursed toward projects that have completed their R&D phase, net of any recoveries. Amounts are not provided until completion of the R&D phase to protect commercial confidentiality.
  • Repayments: The SADI program provides repayable contributions as opposed to grants or loans. Repayments are based on the recipient's gross business revenue or are unconditional, and usually begin 2 years after the completion of the SADI project's R&D phase. Repayment periods are normally 15 years after the completion of the project.
