In Chile, during 2024, three fatal accidents were recorded in medium and large-scale mining operations. These incidents highlight the importance of continuing to address safety as a critical issue— one that requires the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders in the sector.
In this context, Expande, with the support of the National Suppliers Roundtable, in partnership with Sernageomin and under the auspices of the Ministry of Mining, has launched for the second consecutive year the SafetyTech Mining Challenge. This initiative aims to promote the adoption of innovation and technology to enhance safety in the mining industry by connecting common industry challenges with the best technological solutions available worldwide.
Additionally, it seeks to create a collaborative space among mining companies focused on innovation and safety, through an Open Innovation process.
We seek innovative solutions (technological, managerial, or otherwise) that help mitigate or prevent risky behaviors among workers. Proposed solutions may include a wide range of approaches—from data monitoring and analysis to behavior modification through interactive and training technologies. We’re looking for flexible and effective tools that enhance safety and foster a culture of prevention.

We are looking for innovative solutions (technological, managerial, or otherwise) that can proactively anticipate and respond to hazardous driving conditions, considering both human factors and environmental conditions in operational settings. S These solutions may address various risks, including fatigue, drowsiness, reduced visibility, extreme conditions, human-machine interaction, and vehicle-to-vehicle coordination.

We are looking for innovative solutions (technological, managerial, or otherwise) that enable early fire detection, timely response, and comprehensive fire management in leaching and concentrator plants. The goal is to reduce operational risks, protect personnel, minimize damage to critical infrastructure, and ensure operational continuity.

Expande is an initiative by Fundación Chile with over seven years of experience leading open innovation processes to drive a more competitive, efficient, and sustainable mining industry. Its value lies in the integration and management of mining technological knowledge, leveraged through collaborative work between companies, suppliers, and innovation centers at both national and international levels.
The National Geology and Mining Service (Sernageomin) is the technical agency responsible for generating, maintaining, and disseminating information on basic geology, geological resources, and hazards across Chilean territory, for the benefit of the community and in service to the country. It is also in charge of regulating and/or overseeing compliance with mining regulations related to safety, property, and closure plans, contributing to the development of the national mining industry.
The Ministry of Mining is a public institution whose mission is to design, implement, and evaluate public policies for the mining sector. Its objective is to enhance and promote the contribution of mining to national development by fostering innovation, productivity, and sustainability, while ensuring that the use of mineral resources takes place under socially inclusive conditions.
