We create an integrated project team by combining our strengths with those of our clients.

Our story

Synectiq was founded in 2023 in order to provide project management services to companies in the mining industry, thereby enabling them to benefit from our team’s expertise and our methodology specifically designed to help them self-perform their projects.

With more than 15 years of experience as an integrated project team, we’re able to guide our clients throughout the entire project development cycle. By integrating ourselves into their organization, we provide them with the technical decision-making ability they need to achieve their corporate objectives.

About the mining industry

The search for critical minerals is on the rise, with many projects being implemented to leverage opportunities resulting from a global context of decarbonization.

As a result: the demand for the technical resources required to support these projects has also increased.

Consequently, these technical resources are becoming increasingly rare. This new market reality means that some projects will experience delays and even miss their windows of opportunity. It is therefore essential that mining companies define their needs and objectives internally in order to hire the right technical resources at the right time in an efficient, productive way.

That’s where Synectiq comes in.

Ensuring that projects remain efficient is only possible when they are intrinsically linked to clear-cut objectives that are correctly conceptualized from the initial phase of the development cycle.

We support our clients with the guidance they need to define clear technical concepts which enables them to have a better understanding of the mechanisms and specifics of their projects, including risks and opportunities

This makes it easier for clients to ensure stakeholders fully understand the realities and benefits of the project.

Our objectives

Contribute in a productive, constructive and continuous way to the various development phases of our clients’ projects by integrating ourselves within their team and organization. In this way, we provide clients with the ability to transform their objectives into achievable technical concepts.

Our mission

Provide our expertise in project development to mining companies by combining our know-how with theirs, thereby ensuring they’re in the best position to develop and understand their projects and that these are aligned with their corporate objectives.
