The Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce is hosting a German business delegation on the topic “Smart Mining”.  The business delegation will visit British Columbia and Quebec from May 13-17, 2024, to learn more about the Canadian market and to build new partnerships with Canadian companies from the industry.

As part of their program, the delegation will also join the Canadian German conference on the same topic on May 16, 2024. To learn more about the conference please visit our conference website.

Please let us know if you are interested in learning more and setting up a meeting with a representative from the German companies. We would be glad to schedule a meeting.

More information about the German companies will follow soon.

Canada is one of the most significant suppliers of natural resources in the global market and currently ranks among the top 5 producers worldwide in eleven commodities (uranium, potash, nickel, cobalt, titanium, platinum group metals (PGM), aluminum, diamonds, zinc, molybdenum, and rock salt). Additionally, as a country with vast landmass (28 times larger than Germany), Canada holds considerable untapped resource potential, not only in base metals but also in strategically important metals, including those highly sought after in current technologies (rare earth elements, tantalum, tungsten, etc.).
