On March 10, the Institute of Mining Engineers of Peru (IIMP) and the Innovation Hub mining of Peru (Hub) launched the second edition of PERUMIN Hub, the main open and collaborative innovation program that seeks solutions to the great challenges of the mining sector.
Prior to the launch, during the month of February, different spaces were created such as talks, workshops and meetings with the CEOs and decision makers of the 18 mining companies that are part of the program, as well as with experts from key institutions in the sector such as MINEM. , ANA, OSINERGMIN, SENAMHI, RIMAY Technical Group, H2 Peru, among others. This has made it possible to collect information to characterize and collect elements of value for the 11 prioritized challenges for this second edition of PERUMIN Hub.
“This year we have identified challenges that do not necessarily seek technological solutions, but rather innovative work models that generate shared value. From the work carried out, we see that there are many common pains between the company, the State, and other actors, which can only be addressed if we work collaboratively”, said Pamela Antonioli, general manager of the Hub.

PERUMIN Hub is structured in three stages: challenges, linking (matchmaking) and contest. Currently, the program is in the second stage, where innovators, technology providers, researchers, etc. will be able to access two linking platforms for free.
The first seeks to promote the connection between national and international innovators to complement strengths in their proposal, while the second will allow potential participants to validate their proposal with professionals from the 18 participating mining companies, who will give their feedback for the next stage: the contest. .
