The Saskatchewan Industrial Mining Suppliers Association (SIMSA) represents 200 mining suppliers that are responsible for over $10 billion in revenues, $8 billion in GDP, and 21,000 jobs. The Covid-19 pandemic impacted the activities of the association, which included procurement events and tradeshows that were critical to the survival of many of the member companies.
With the support of NGen, SIMSA created a new, digital platform, SIMSA Digital, that allows members and members’ clients to continue to do business together by digitizing current practices and developing new partnerships and business opportunities.
The new platform also allows SIMSA and its members to link virtually to other mining industry associations across Canada, encouraging innovation and collaboration with new partners in both traditional and non-traditional industry sectors.
