Agenda

Modern technologies are transforming mining – from automation and robotisation to AI, data analytics and digital mine management models. Smart mining means system integration, autonomous machines and the use of data to increase operational efficiency and safety. Increasingly, the discussion on innovation also extends beyond traditional mining, covering technologies related to deep-sea mining and future space-mining concepts, which may redefine access to strategic raw materials in the coming decades.

Main themes:

• Automation and robotisation
• AI and digitalisation
• Operational efficiency
• Cybersecurity

Key questions:

• What does the mine of the future look like?
• Which technologies have the greatest impact on efficiency?
• How can the return on investment in innovation be measured?
