Trade mission to Canada

The Netherlands and Canada share a strong commitment to building a sustainable future. As partners in innovation and trade, both countries recognise that secure and responsible access to critical raw materials is vital for the technologies that drive the global energy transition and digital transformation.

From 1 to 4 March 2026, a Dutch delegation will take part in the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference in Toronto. The mission highlights how the Netherlands contributes to developing circular, transparent and resilient critical raw materials value chains, and seeks to strengthen collaboration with Canadian partners in this field.

Dutch participants bring expertise in responsible sourcing, recycling technologies, circular design and innovative business models that support a climate-neutral and competitive economy. By combining Dutch innovation with Canada’s resource leadership, both countries can accelerate progress towards sustainable and secure supply chains that benefit society as a whole.
