Digging deep is a glimpse into some of the many things that the program has contributed to, helped create or enabled since the start in 2013. Our vision is a world-leading mining and mineral producing industry that contributes to a sustainable society. As one of Sweden’s strategic innovation programs our efforts have been towards innovation capacity, technology development, social acceptance and qualified personnel.
