Consider having the Thompson CDC and CFNCD launch a targeted 'Supplier Upgrading' initiative, working directly with Vale's procurement team to map exactly which technical services are currently sourced outside the region, and matching those gaps with local contractors who could upgrade to fill them.Is it possible to move beyond networking events? Consider exploring whether UCN and the Thompson Chamber of Commerce could co-host a quarterly 'Northern Solutions Lab'—a structured working session where a specific industry challenge (e.g., remote logistics) is presented to a mixed room of mining engineers, healthcare administrators, and trades students.Consider whether PrairiesCan's Thompson office and the CDC could develop a shared 'Ecosystem Process Dashboard' that tracks leading indicators—such as the number of cross-sector introductions made, co-op placements secured, and supplier qualification meetings held—rather than just tracking jobs and investment dollars.Spatial strategy: Repurpose Vacant Space for Cross-Sector Prototyping
