Working with our membership, ITAC establishes and sets targets for where Canada's knowledge economy should be compared to key peer/competitor nations. Where we fall short, ITAC determines what we need to do to get there and ensure we do what is needed in areas such as: skills, capital, tax, science & technology, and collaboration.
ITAC believes Canadian businesses should be leaders in the use of ICT for competitive advantage, productivity and growth. Use of ICT by small and medium enterprises should increase towards that of our US counterparts. By partnering with other associations, as well as with Government, we work to ensure public policy supports these goals.
ITAC strives to ensure Federal, Ontario and other Canadian Governments are leaders in ICT use. ITAC positions itself as a trusted advisor to Government. We gather industry leaders and Government together and work to make it easier for our industry to sell to government.
ITAC believes the Canadian healthcare system should be a world-leading user of ICT to achieve superior patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, as well as fostering development of a world-leading Canadian health ICT industry. ITAC works to correct chronic under-spend on ICT.
ITAC’s view is Canada’s laws should promote leadership in development and use of advanced technology. We want to ensure efficient and cost-effective measures to protect privacy and instill confidence in the e-economy.
ITAC believes that in order for Canada to continue to compete worldwide, we need to promote policies that will ensure a steady supply of talented men and women for our local ICT industry. We work with industry as well as with Federal, Provincial and local governments to establish initiatives to support this goal.

RFID / NFC WebEx
To better reflect the rapid growth of the NFC platform and our expectation of future innovations, ITAC is pleased to announce our renamed RFID / NFC and Sensor Technology Forum.
To kick-off this initiative, RFID Canada has developed an educational RFID / NFC Business WebEx for the benefit of ITAC members. The WebEx will focus on how business leaders can increase revenue and relate an exciting customer experience using new RFID / NFC technology. ITAC members will be introduced to a revolutionary way to brand, use, interact and embrace technology and how to integrate business and NFC technology to benefit the bottom line.
RFID / NFC technology can provide solutions for the following areas:
- Payments
- Patient care (health care)
- Security and access control
- Social media marketing integration
- Enhancing events (e.g., music festivals, sporting events, theme parks)
- Retail marketing
