"Conversations at the Botswana Mining & Energy Conference & Expo 2026 are a strong reminder that the future of mining will not only be shaped underground, but through innovation, technology, and strategic collaboration above ground.

As Botswana continues to position itself as a global mining leader, the role of digital transformation, data-driven decision making, and sustainable operations becomes even more critical.

Grateful to be among the professionals and leaders gathered at the Gaborone Fairgrounds this week, exchanging ideas and exploring how we can collectively build a smarter, safer, and more resilient mining and energy sector.

The future of mining will belong to those who are willing to innovate"
