Sudbury, Ontario – October 2025

BESTECH has been selected by Ontario’s Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade to represent the province at the Cleantech in Mining Business Mission to the FOREDE conference in Atacama, Chile.

As part of the delegation, BESTECH will be exhibiting at the Canada–Ontario Pavilion, showcasing the company’s expertise in automation, electrification, and sustainable mining solutions. The mission connects Ontario firms with global partners in a market with more than $10 billion USD projected in sustainable infrastructure investments.

Representing BESTECH at FOREDE will be Dan Dumais and Serge Bourdua, who will join industry leaders in meetings with Chilean mining firms, Export Development Canada, and the Canadian Commercial Corporation.

“This mission is an incredible opportunity not just for BESTECH, but for the entire Northern Ontario mining cluster,” said Marz Kord, President of BESTECH. “By fostering new connections in Chile, we can create pathways for collaboration that benefit our clients, partners, and the industry at home and abroad.”

The Cleantech in Mining Business Mission strengthens Ontario’s global reputation for innovation and sustainability, while creating new opportunities for local companies to export their expertise and build international partnerships.
