SUDBURY, ON – April 6, 2021: The Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) and 2GLOB are pleased to announce their strategic alliance to leverage CEMI’s global network and 2GLOB’s mining portfolio.

This alliance will bridge the internationalization, innovation and commercialization gap faced by innovative companies from across Canada entering strategic global markets.

CEMI will work with 2GLOB in identifying investable innovations and opportunities that can assist global mining ecosystems and all levels of the mining value chain in mitigating uncertainty and risks in entering emerging markets.

CEMI and 2GLOB believe this will lead to the growth and scaling up of Canadian small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by increasing the market of their made-in-Canada products and services, in cooperation with Keiretsu Forum and Dentons global law firm.
