Digging deep

Digging deep is a glimpse into some of the many things that the program has contributed to, helped create or enabled since the start in 2013. Our vision is a world-leading mining and mineral producing industry that contributes to a sustainable society. As one of Sweden’s strategic innovation programs our efforts have been towards innovation capacity, technology development, social acceptance and qualified personnel.

In the coming months, we will share examples, large and small, narrow and broad, where Swedish Mining Innovation and our partners have contributed the vision. Short and sweet, easy to understand, gathered under one of these three headings:

Future technology
Innovation drivers 
Societal sustainability
