Latin American local capacity support for mining related Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

EF 2017-18 · 2017-07-01

Résumé
Latin America (countries like Brazil and Chile) offers opportunities for Canadian companies with technologies, products, and services that might be applicable and transferable to the mining sector of the region. An example of this opportunity are some technologies currently being used in the environmental space of the oil sands operations in Alberta that may have an application in the mining sector of Latin America. The objective of this project is building the local capacity for Canadian SMEs in Latin America by: 1. Assessing the export readiness of Canadian SMEs for entry & accessibility into the Latin America mining sector. 2. Using information from existing resources, such as the Trade Commissioner Service (TCS), Export Development Canada (EDC), Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) etc., to generate engagement with Latin American potential technology partners and collaborators, and market leads through in-country interactions with prospective clients & mining stakeholders.

Description (French)
L’Amérique latine (des pays comme le Brésil et le Chili) offre des opportunités aux entreprises canadiennes avec des technologies, des produits et des services, qui pourraient être applicables et transférables au secteur minier de la région. Un exemple de cette opportunité est certaines technologies actuellement utilisées dans l’environnement d'exploitation des sables bitumineux en Alberta, qui pourraient avoir une application dans le secteur minier de l’Amérique latine. L’objectif de ce projet est de renforcer la capacité locale pour les PME canadiennes en Amérique latine en : 1. Évaluant l’état de préparation à l’exportation des PME canadiennes pour l’entrée et l’accessibilité de l’Amérique latine dans le secteur minier 2. À l’aide de l’information des ressources existantes, comme le Service des délégués commerciaux (SDC), Exportation et développement Canada (EDC), la Banque de développement du Canada (BDC), etc., pour générer un engagement avec l’Amérique latine concernant les possibilités des partenaires et des collaborateurs de technologie, et des pistes du marché par l'entremise des interactions avec les clients potentiels dans le pays et les intervenants de l’exploitation minière.
