About CIM Connect

CIM Connect is a global convention but will have a natural focus on opportunities in the Americas more broadly.

CIM Connect is Canada's premier mining trade show featuring hundreds of companies showcasing the latest in mining equipment, tools, technology, services and products.

Alternating each year between Vancouver and Montreal, CIM Connect is a key platform for spotlighting cutting-edge technology, inventive solutions, a wide array of services, and much more. Engage in conversations with industry professionals, experts, and key decision-makers. Explore and test products, establish valuable partnerships, and ignite fresh ideas.

Why Canada?

Canada is a leading mining jurisdiction and is a globally significant producer of platinum, gold, nickel, copper, iron ore, titanium, uranium, potash and many rare earth elements.

The total value of Canadian mineral production in 2021 was $55.5 billion, and exploration budgets have grown to decade highs in the previous two years.

Stable governance and an investment-friendly environment, alongside proven reserves of many commodities vital to global decarbonisation and electrification efforts, indicate that ongoing exploration and development of Canada’s mining industry will be significant.

What's included?

Global Victoria has secured exhibition space at CIM Connect.

We will support space rental and stand-build costs for a limited number of companies to co-exhibit in this space, as well as B2B and networking events and functions.

Each participating company will also participate in a bespoke business development program, currently under development. This will involve engagement with specialist consultants in Canada and will include briefing sessions, targeted market access advice, introductions to key stakeholders and pitching opportunities.

What's not included?

Global Victoria will not cover costs for participants:

• airfares
• visas
• accommodation
• costs incurred out of trade mission activities, such as meals and external activities
• transport costs, such as taxis, Ubers and public transport.
