As part of the new agreement between Amira Global and the Mining Innovation Hub of Peru, Members are eligible to participate in the open innovation program, PERUMIN Hub.

PERUMIN Hub is the main open innovation program of the mining sector in Peru.

The Hub, which was launched in early March 2022, has three stages: challenges; match-making, and a contest. The first stage is complete.

Amira Global Head of Global Alliances Patricio Pastorelli said Members were welcome to participate in the matchmaking stage.

Matchmaking is conducted through two free platforms. The Hub searches to:

• connect innovators from different ecosystems, national and international to complement and strengthen their proposals
• enable innovators to present a preliminary profile of their proposals to the internal teams of mining companies to receive feedback from a potential user. 

“This is an outstanding opportunity to engage with a large group of innovators from the Peruvian and LATAM ecosystem, including reserchers,mining companies, investors, and government officials,” Mr Pastorelli said.

“The topics of conversation of the matchmaking of PERUMIN HUB were selected by Peru’s mining companies, and represent the biggest challenges of the industry.”

The topics are:

• Environmental sustainability
• Water resources
• Mining 4.0

Matchmaking began on 10 March and involves completing a short form to participate.

You are also able to receive compatibility suggestions with different national and international matchmakers.

PERUMIN Hub is an alliance between the Peruvian Institute of Mining Engineers and the Mining Innovation Hub of Peru, and consists of 18 mining companies and more than 40 national and international allies.
