Water Services and Technologies is proud to officially announce its membership in the MICA Network (Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator), one of the world’s leading international networks dedicated to accelerating innovation and advancing sustainability in the mining sector. 

MICA brings together companies, research centres, academic institutions, and industry experts to drive solutions in productivity, energy efficiency, digitalization, and environmental risk mitigation in mining. 

Through this joint effort, Water Services and Technologies reaffirms its commitment to delivering cutting-edge technologies and services for water management, environmental modelling, and remediation in mining operations worldwide. 

Expert Insight 
“Engaging with MICA allows us to align our technologies with current and future water challenges in mining, creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation,” says Martin Draeger, Managing Partner and Director of Operations, WST Canada Inc. 

Our membership in MICA aligns with at least four strategic pillars for positioning WST solutions: 
• Water balance optimization — advancing water reuse, recycling, and efficiency strategies 
• Intelligent systems — connecting field monitoring to office analytics in real-time 
• Numerical modeling — cutting-edge approaches for groundwater, water quality, and contaminant transport 
• Enterprise data management — AI-embedded solutions for environmental data integration and decision-making 

We are excited about the new possibilities to contribute to a global innovation ecosystem and to deliver practical, future-focused solutions for sustainable mining operations this partnership will bring.  

Being part of such a strategic network puts us alongside leaders and innovators in the mining industry, expanding opportunities for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of projects that unite technology, water management, and sustainable practices. 

This connection strengthens our commitment to delivering increasingly efficient solutions aligned with global demands for responsible mining.
