South Africa has a long intertwined history of mining as well as the manufacture of equipment for mining and has been a site for innovation for the mining industry since its early beginnings. Recognising the need to cultivate and nurture this innovative and resilient spirit, the Mandela Mining Precinct's South African Minerals, Extraction, Research, Development and Innovation (SAMERDI) initiative, a partnership between the South African government and the Minerals Council of South Africa, has supported Mining Equipment Manufacturers of South Africa (MEMSA) and its members in fostering innovations in safety and solutions-driven mining equipment. It is in this context that MEMSA hosted the first Mind Shift Conference in Sandton on May 24 and 25, 2023.
