We are an impact investor developing the next generation of infrastructure Canadians need. We deliver outcomes such as sustainable economic growth, connected communities and energy competitiveness.

Global demand for critical minerals, the building blocks of the digital economy, represents an important economic opportunity for Canada.  

Since the launch of our critical minerals initiative three years ago, the CIB has gained valuable perspective into the barriers and risks that can hinder project development.  

Our new report, From critical to commercial, summarizes insights we’ve heard from the market and makes recommendations on policy and financing tools to help unlock new mining projects.  

The CIB supports critical minerals projects across the entire supply chain. We can partner with owners, developers and investors to deliver innovative financing solutions that accelerate and make projects commercially viable.

The CIB’s investments spark private capital that drives jobs, economic growth, and new business in Canadian communities.
