Experts from the mining and commodities sector are gathering at the leading international conference in Berlin.
Under this year’s theme, ‘Raw Materials Momentum’, Thorsten Kratz had the opportunity to speak about the opportunities and risks from the perspective of a mining contractor.
The ‘Licence to Operate’ panel discussed European raw materials sovereignty and the crucial role that the implementation of mining projects plays in this regard.
The presentation highlighted three key pillars that are crucial for us at THYSSEN SCHACHTBAU in successfully bringing projects to fruition:
We act as a turnkey partner, from the initial feasibility study right through to operational phase.
We address the shortage of skilled workers through an international network and the use of modern technologies, including VR simulations, to train young talent and proactively minimise safety risks.
Europe is a fragmented market. Our expertise lies in guaranteeing legal and technical solutions, as well as consistent HSEQ standards, across all national borders.
The European transition to renewable raw materials is not a foregone conclusion. It requires specialised partners who can bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Glückauf!
