Some of our current sponsors
idoba is a new mining technology services company, borne out of the desire to rethink, transform and disrupt mining. We bring people together who have a shared passion to co-create a better future for mining. A future where mining has a positive contribution to climate and social change, where mining is part of the solution, not the creator of a problem and where digital and social technologies can make a difference.
We combine management consulting, digital technology, mining expertise and software engineering skills to deeply understand problems and co-create innovative solutions. We also acknowledge that to rethink, transform and disrupt the way mining is done, we have to do things differently ourselves. And that is why our team is proudly diverse and we actively challenge the status quo because we believe that the traditional ways of working and thinking are ineffective in solving the complex problems our industries are facing today.
idoba was initiated in 2020 but the companies we’ve brought together to form our ecosystem have over 50 years of experience delivering value to clients. These companies in our ecosystem are truly diverse with extensive lived experience, deep domain knowledge and a dedication to driving impactful change.
