We have chosen three start-ups that will present their innovative solutions for the mining industry.

1)  Finding the Problem Statement - Value Creation from Digitalisation in Mining
•    Discussing data & digitalisation as a tool in the context of the characteristics of mining
•    Highlighting why value creation from digitalisation is a mining rather than an IT challenge
•    Exploring the emergent design approach to address digitalisation in mining as a user- & human-centric challenge

Speaker: Stefan Ebert, Founder, Digital Mining Technologist

2)    Open-Access Knowledge Base Covering the Ins and Outs of Using Sensors to Scan Ores
•    Mining companies are increasingly adopting sensor-based ore sorting and process optimization, using tools for drill hole logging, conveyor belt scanning, and slurry analysis.
•    Sensors rely on technology to detect material properties like color, density, and mineralogy, but are limited by factors like mineral concentration and ore composition heterogeneity.
•    Due to the uniqueness of each ore deposit, there is no universal sensor solution, making it challenging for mining professionals to find the right technology for their specific ore types.
