Message from the Minister of Innovation, Energy and Mines

Welcome to the Manitoba Innovation, Energy and Mines (IEM) website. This site is your source of information about the programs and services available through this department. The Manitoba government has made innovation a key component of its economic development strategy.  At IEM, we focus on expanding the innovative capacity of all participants in the economy.  We strive to make the most of Manitoba’s many assets, particularly human and natural resources. It means jobs for Manitobans, prosperity for businesses and communities and a stronger province for us all.

Whatever your focus – energy development, mineral and petroleum resources, research, science and technology, community connectivity, service transformation or information technology – the IEM website can assist you in your endeavours.

Manitoba has a remarkable wealth of resources, including potential mineral deposits to be discovered and green technology to be developed. By working together with communities and industry, we can develop these new opportunities, build on existing ones and strengthen our economic development efforts across the province. The result is bound to be a stronger, more prosperous Manitoba for us all.
