DIGITALISATION IN MINING AFRICA

14-15 May, 2024 | Johannesburg, South Africa

Digitalisation, innovation, sustainable mining operations, and decarbonisation, are set to continue to be a top priority for the mining industry globally. Pushed by various factors such as stricter safety requirements, higher production efficiency and cost-saving targets, cybersecurity, supply, and value chain disruptions, ambitious decarbonisation targets, pressure from local communities and investors, and much more.

Tackling these challenges and commitments requires significant collaboration initiatives across the industry. The key focus should be on bridging technologies, processes, and people. The mission of the Digitalisation in Mining conferences organised by the Mining Innovation Network is to offer a platform and a place where the industry can meet and discuss the best way to innovate, bridge technologies, processes, and people together, and move the industry forward.

Mining Innovation Network and the team behind the Digitalisation in Mining conferences that include Australia, Europe, North America, and Latin America, are proud to bring you the inaugural Digitalisation in Mining Africa taking place for the first time in Johannesburg, South Africa, on May 14-15, 2024
