BRANCHEZ VOTRE ENTREPRISE SUR L’EXPLOITATION MINIÈRE DE DEMAINTOUCHEZ DEUX INDUSTRIES DU MÊME COUP : EXPLOITATION MINIÈRE ET CONSTRUCTION.

23E CONGRÈS INTERNATIONAL SUR LES MINES (WMC)11 au 15 août 2013 | Montréal | Organisé parallèlement au symposium ISARC

Organisé par En colaboration avec

L’Institut canadien des mines, de la métallurgie et du pétrole (ICM) accueille avec plaisir à Montréal (Québec, Canada), le 23e Congrès international sur les mines (WMC), du 11 au 15 août 2013. Nous espérons que vous serez des nôtres, Montréal étant une destination mondiale de choix et le cadre idéal pour un événement tourné résolument vers l’avenir des mines.

Le WMC 2013 est un événement conjoint de cinq grandes universités canadiennes, soit l’Université McGill, l’Université de Colombie-Britannique, l’Université de Toronto, l’Université Queen’s et l’Université de l’Alberta, ainsi que de l’ICM.

Disposant de ressources naturelles exceptionnelles, le Canada prospère en tant que chef de file mondial dans l’extraction de plusieurs matières premières. En cette période de défis économiques mondiaux, le Canada et ses provinces jettent les bases d’une croissance soutenue par le biais de l’expansion d’infrastructures, notamment dans le secteur de l’énergie et des minerais.

Sous le thème Cartographier l’avenir : les percées en génie minier, le WMC 2013 propose un vaste programme technique de présentations de pointe, évaluées par des tiers experts, permettant le partage de connaissances avancées entre collègues du monde entier.

Accueilli tour à tour par bon nombre de pays dans le monde, le WMC se tiendra pour la première fois en parallèle avec le 30e Symposium international sur l’automatisation et la robotique dans la construction et l’exploitation minière (ISARC), réunissant ainsi deux industries sous un même toit.

En marge de ces deux congrès se déroulera un salon commercial conjoint, une occasion unique pour les fournisseurs locaux et internationaux d’interagir avec des centaines d’acheteurs du monde entier en un seul et même endroit. Plus de 250 fournisseurs de produits et de services œuvrant dans les secteurs des mines, de l’énergie et des minerais, de même qu’en construction, robotique et automatisation, présenteront des produits et des solutions qui feront progresser votre entreprise.

Plus de 1600 congressistes sont attendus, offrant ainsi un monde de possibilités pour tisser de nouvelles relations d’affaires.

Au plaisir de vous voir à Montréal !
