Program offers AI help to non-profits
A new initiative from Tech Manitoba aims to support non-profit organizations in the province in identifying and safely installing a digital tool to solve a specific operational challenge.
Through the program, which is called “Practical Artificial Intelligence for Non-Profits,” four selected non-profits will be paired with Manitoba-based tech companies for hands-on, step-by-step support.
Together, they will identify and apply an AI solution to streamline a single workflow, which will reduce administrative burden, save employee time and improve day-to-day operations.
There is no cost to participate. Tech Manitoba is accepting applications at techmanitoba.ca until April 30.
Mining projects set to receive $3.4M boost
The Manitoba government is investing $3.4 million to accelerate new mining projects.
Provincial mining minister Jamie Moses announced the investment on Monday at the annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada conference in Toronto.
The province is providing $2 million to Minago Development GP Inc., which is owned by Norway House Cree Nation, to support the first phase of development for a first-of-its-kind low-emission magnesium processing facility in Canada.
The first phase of development is expected to create more than 20 permanent jobs, provide training for more than 50 First Nation participants, and strengthen Manitoba’s domestic processing capacity in a critical mineral used in aerospace tech, electronics and automotive parts.
The province is also investing $1.4 million for eight new exploration projects through the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund.
