Breakout Panel
Africa is plenteous with minerals. The mining industry is a big revenue-generator for African countries; however, there is an increasing international pressure for it to improve its environmental, social, and governance footprint whilst delivering cleaner, safer, more efficient processes as well as profit to shareholders. We will explore with women in mining how digital technology and innovation act as enablers and accelerators in remodeling the mining business for growth, profit sustainability, and Climate Positive.
