The forum provided a platform for focused events devoted to the presentation of new trends and technologies in the fastest-growing segments of the sector.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Programme&#8221; style=&#8221;outline&#8221; color=&#8221;sky&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2F2019.minexkazakhstan.com%2Fagenda%2F|||&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;New Themes&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%231e73be&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1161&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243;][vc_column_text]For the first time, the programme contained events dedicated to the digitisation in the mining industry. Digital technology is already a reality. Back in the day, the competitive advantage of participants in the mining sector was measured by how successfully they extracted natural resources, but now it is measured by how effectively companies exploit the information at their disposal in order to optimise production, reduce losses, increase their effectiveness and provide safer working conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ability to organise the collection, retention and processing of information quickly leads to a competitive advantage and may even help the development of new business models. The programme contained new digital projects that have been successfully implemented both within and outwith Kazakhstan. We discussed the prospects for the future implementation of digital technologies in different segments of the mining industry.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Main Themes&#8221; style=&#8221;outline&#8221; color=&#8221;sky&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2F2019.minexkazakhstan.com%2Fprogramme%2Fmain-themes%2F|||&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;New Technologies&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23dd9933&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2032&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Participants in the forum have been given access to the mobile event app, which provided access to the programme and the profiles of presenters, private and group chats, the list of participants (using the app), and the opportunity to arrange meetings between participants during the forum.
