The International Exhibition of Technologies and Innovations for the Mining and Energy Industries, EXPONOR, is an exhibition that has been held every two years since 1990 in the capital of the Antofagasta Region, Chile, recognized as the global epicentre of the mining and energy business. Today, it is the third largest mining-energy exhibition in the world and the only on-site one.
It provides links to the latest technological advances in mining and energy, connecting the main mining companies with various national and international supplier companies, and with the technical visitors participating in the exhibition.
Its program of activities includes: business roundtables with the main companies, three Networking days, seminars with the most relevant industry topics, technical talks by exhibitors, visits to mining sites, different spaces for innovators and SMEs in the area, among others, mainly oriented towards the generation of opportunities, and the creation and strengthening of business networks.
Under the slogan "Together for the growth and wellbeing of the region", public authorities and representatives of the private sector met on Tuesday to start coordinating EXPONOR, next year's most important mining-energy exhibition.
