Delegation: Mining & Energy

In collaboration with VDMA, LCBA Canada, the German Consulate Vancouver, CEMI and IHK NRW, we organized a market exploration trip for German companies in the field of Mining, Mineral Processing and Energy to the province of British Columbia from June 20^th to June 27^th, 2025.

With over 1,100 global mining companies based in Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) presents strong opportunities for German suppliers of high-tech, automated, software, and sustainable mining and minerals processing solutions – in both surface and underground.

By 2030, the Canadian mining equipment market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% while the critical minerals sector is expected to reach CAD 40 billion in annual revenues. 

BC’s stringent environmental regulations drive demand for emission reducing and energy-efficient technologies, supported by CAD 400 million in green mining initiatives. Infrastructure expansion, backed by CAD 1.8 billion in government investment, creates further opportunities for heavy equipment and digitalization solutions.

The trip aimed to introduce German companies to the Canadian Mining, Mineral Processing and Energy industry. Participating companies had the chance to establish personal contacts, attend individually arranged business meetings with Canadian companies from the industry, review new products and solutions, and develop collaboration opportunities. 

In addition to bilateral discussions and company visits, we organized a conference where participating companies had the opportunity to present themselves to a professional audience and attend panel discussions followed by a networking event.
