ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE 2023

About the event:

Future Bridge is excited to welcome you to the 3rd edition of the Mining 4.0 forum in November 2023.

The event will be physically held in Barcelona, Spain. The conference aims to bring together the senior
decision-makers from the Mining and Metal Industry for a 2-day business networking-oriented event. The attend-
ees will have the opportunity to witness a program that focuses on insightful case studies and panels which will
promote in-depth exchanges and discussions that address the industry’s challenges.

The mining and metal industry is transitioning to smart, digital, and carbon-free mining. Reducing human inter-
vention, modifying the mining environment, and optimizing production costs are necessary. This transformation
to smart mining will bring the exciting opportunity to tackle complexities, protect the environment, break down
silos, and strive for sustainability - all while creating a lasting impact!

Join us in Barcelona for an exclusive event focused on the future of mining, where industry leaders will share
insights on the latest advancements in Mining 4.0, operation optimization, AI, machine learning, asset electrifica-
tion, emission control, safety, mine planning, and much more. Discover new ways to optimize operations through
cutting-edge technologies like advanced analytics, 3D modeling, digital twins, and automation. Explore the
challenges and benefits of machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, and learn how to
connect operational and information technology to achieve maximum efficiency. Stay ahead of the curve with the
latest advancements in safety, including IoT-enabled wearables that track vital signs and detect safety incidents in
real-time. Don't miss this unique opportunity to connect with fellow mining directors and solution providers, and
gain a competitive edge in today's fast-paced mining industry

A lot of excellent presentations,
