2nd Conference Mining Goes Digital Kazakhstan

2nd Mining Goes Digital Kazakhstan Conference

The development of mineral resources and the future of the mining industry in Kazakhstan largely depend on the speed and success of digital transformation.

Digitalisation affects almost all levels – from the transfer of government services to cloud-based platforms to the creation of digital mine twins and blockchain-backed raw material supply chains.

By digitalisation and moving online sub-soil-use services, the Government of Kazakhstan expects to significantly improve the investment attractiveness of the country. The benefits of digital transformation would be a simplification of documentation, shortening the time for processing applications, removal of administrative barriers,  as well as making the licensing and other procedures transparent.

The digitalisation of mining companies impacts not only their stability in times of crisis and the speed of decision-making but also their financial performance and capitalisation.

Mining Goes Digital Kazakhstan digital transformation conference organised for the second time alongside the Forum, will provide a platform for the presentation and discussion of cases of digital transformation in the geological and mining industry sectors in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries.

  • Heads of mines, quarries, processing plants, exploration companies
  • CIOs, CTOs and Digital Transformation Directors
  • Mine Digitalisation project managers
