🛰️ Connecting Canada’s Arctic — and we want to hear from you.

PIRC is the Canadian partner in SAVIAN (Satellite-Based VDES Infrastructure for Arctic Needs), a European Space Agency study designing the next generation of satellite communications for the Arctic, built on VDES / AIS 2.0 technology. The goal: secure maritime communications, safer e-navigation, and reliable shore-to-ship digital services across the North, with a system targeted to be operational by 2030.

The consortium is led by Sternula, alongside GomSpace, London Economics and PIRC. Our role is to bring the Canadian voice to the table — gathering user requirements and connecting the project with the communities, operators and regulators who depend on Arctic waters.

🇨🇦 Canadian consultations are now open. If your organization operates, regulates, or relies on communication in Canada’s Arctic — shipping and resupply, coastal communities, safety and search-and-rescue — we’d love to connect.

Public Interests Research and Communications Inc. has completed registration as a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) in the European Space Agency's procurement system.

It's a modest but meaningful step — one that opens the door to contributing on international space, satellite communications, Arctic, and public-policy files, and reflects the direction of PIRC's recent work at the intersection of government, policy, and emerging technology.

With thanks to the teams at the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency for their guidance through the process.

Grand Opening — PIRC Executive Briefing Room | Sussex Drive, Ottawa | June 2026

The work that shapes policy does not always happen in boardrooms or on Parliament Hill. Often, it happens in a focused, private room — with the right people, the right context, and no distractions.

This June, Public Interests Research and Communications Inc. opened the PIRC Executive Briefing Room on Sussex Drive in Ottawa’s ByWard Market.

The space is purpose-built for work that demands precision, preparedness, and operational clarity, including:
• executive briefings and operational updates
• hybrid conferencing and international coordination
• Arctic, maritime, satellite, and digital infrastructure strategy
• policy and regulatory working sessions
• media monitoring and rapid-response analysis
• stakeholder engagement and consortium coordination
• multimedia production and strategic communications support

The room is also structured to support select international project and systems-definition work being conducted in Ottawa — including coordination activities involving Arctic communications, maritime safety, satellite systems, and emerging digital infrastructure.

The concept is deliberate: a private, adaptable environment designed for disciplined preparation, direct conversation, and decision-oriented engagement.

As in-person presence reasserts itself across Ottawa’s government, policy, and international affairs communities, there is renewed value in having a dedicated space that is operationally, technically, and strategically ready when the moment requires it.

More details to follow.
