en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Center for Research, Development and Innovation in Structural Materials (IDIEM) of the University of Chile and the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) will jointly participate in Exponor 2026, one of the most important mining exhibitions in Latin America. The two institutions will showcase their technological capabilities and applied research results at the exhibition, focusing on solutions to address current and future challenges in the mining industry. The joint participation aims to highlight the work of IDIEM and AMTC in innovation, technology development, and specialized services for the industry.
Gabriela González, Commercial Manager of IDIEM, stated that Exponor will allow them to directly connect with one of the most influential mining ecosystems in Chile and globally, showcasing their capabilities and strengthening ties with mining companies, suppliers, contractors, and communities. Dr. Humberto Estay, Director of AMTC, emphasized that Exponor is a global hub for mining and energy business. As a research center, they aim to demonstrate that Chile possesses the scientific, technological, and talent strength to become not only an exporter of mineral products but also an international benchmark in knowledge and technological innovation for efficient, safe, and responsible mining development. Dr. Estay added that a major global challenge is the energy transition, where critical minerals are essential, but sustainable production requires new technologies, more innovation, and close collaboration between the scientific community and industry—a role in which AMTC can play a strategic part.
The two institutions emphasized that they provide complementary and high-value contributions to the mining industry both domestically and internationally. IDIEM will showcase its experience in testing, inspection, diagnostics, monitoring, quality control, critical infrastructure, and specialized technical services at the exhibition, while AMTC will highlight its work in applied research, technological innovation, industry collaboration projects, and advanced talent development. Gabriela Novoa, Director of Strategic Relations at AMTC, noted that AMTC's participation in Exponor demonstrates the contribution of applied research and technology development from R&D centers to the mining industry. In recent years, corporate interest in collaborating with academia on new projects to address industry technical challenges has grown significantly. AMTC and IDIEM stated that this international participation will strengthen the role of the University of Chile in promoting innovative, responsible, and world-class mining development, combining technological progress with the needs of regions and people.
