As active contributors in Canada’s resource-based economy, mining companies are constantly engaged in finding new and innovative products and processes that can increase resource extraction while decreasing their environmental footprint.
To enhance this industrial growth, representatives from many mining and resource-extraction companies will be meeting at Technology and Innovation in Mining 2015 from September 10-11 in Toronto, Ontario. The event will focus on how mining, one of the oldest industries in the world, can create and adopt new technologies that will increase profits and production while ensuring that the mining industry moves forward to adapt to changing global realities. Key note speeches delivered by world-leading industry experts will drive discussions on a wide range of topics, including automation, IT and smart technologies, and best practice solutions.
Another conference, the 2015 Coal Association of Canada Conference, will take place September 16-18 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Held specifically for mining companies in the coal industry, the CAC Conference offers moderated panel discussions, workshops, and presentations hosted by global coal industry experts. With a host of social events to ensure that participants can forge new business relationships and renew industry connections, the conference will allow participants to enhance their industry presence and to learn how to prepare their business for an economic upturn.
As major participants in research and development across Canada, mining companies are well poised to take advantage of Canada’s robust Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit program, as well as other government funding opportunities.
