Critical Minerals Agenda
March 2, 2023
As global demand for critical minerals continues to increase, Canada has launched its first nationwide Critical Minerals Strategy. Canada can provide mineral inputs to international markets while at the same time sustaining its own domestic manufacturing and green energy sectors. This Executive Summit will examine Canada’s strategy for developing its mineral resources and will provide private sector perspectives on next steps in advancing Canada’s brand as a sustainable supplier of critical minerals.
