This June, the Sudbury-based Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) will announce up to $16 million in funding for innovators working on projects designed to improve efficiency in mining.
Led by the Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEM), MICA was launched in 2021 as a pan-Canadian network of mining companies, industrial suppliers, academic organizations and researchers, and industrial innovators — all working to modernize the mining industry.
Leveraging $40 million from the federal government’s Strategic Innovation Fund, MICA vets and selects late-stage, high-impact projects that are poised to dramatically change the industry.
MICA’s four areas of concentration include improved productivity, better environmental performance, a strengthened Canadian mineral supply chain, and increased domestic and export sales of Canadian innovators.
