Unearthed and Investing in African Mining Indaba have partnered for Startups Unearthed Africa, which offers four African emerging technology businesses the opportunity to pitch their innovative industry solutions at the world’s largest mining investment conference on Wednesday 6 February 2019 in Cape Town.
The four startups with ground-breaking technologies that have been selected to access the valuable prospect to present to leaders from 220+ mining companies, 750+ investors and dealmakers, and 34+ government ministers are:
Kriterion (Pretoria Based), who use Artificial Intelligence to provide actionable intelligence to asset-dependent enterprises in the mining, construction and other heavy industries;
Passport 360, a one-stop solution for mining contractor management and compliance;
Rocketmine (South Africa & Ghana), Africa’s premier drone service provider, who focus on delivering safe, reliable, accurate and cost-effective data to industry; and
Evacu8, whose real-time monitoring systems ensure that employees enter and exit the workspace safely and assist workers in emergency evacuations so that nobody gets left behind.
Applications for Startups Unearthed Africa were open to any business across the continent that had a prototype, product or service that can impact industry. Companies did not need to have worked on a mining project before, they just needed to have exciting technology solutions that can make a difference.
In addition to awarding four pitching spots, each startup will receive one full complimentary pass to Mining Indaba that runs from Monday 4 to Thursday 7 February 2019.
