Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Shared Data and Interoperability

Are African miners doing enough?

Sharing data can lead to a breakthrough in how Africa manages health and safety in its mines and its broader value chain. However, many remain reluctant to share data, fearful that they will give a competitive advantage to a rival company. Couple this with interoperability issues of dealing with multiple different technology systems, data can become useless. When it comes to health and safety, it is no longer about competitive edges, but human lives. What does Africa need to do to improve in this area?

  • Shared data and health and safety, why the lack of transparency?
  • What can African learn from European company’s data handling?
  • How do we overcome the challenges of interoperability created when using multiple tech systems?
