Register for the Supplier Innovation Program

BHP is partnering with Austmine to facilitate an open innovation program, to engage suppliers and implement emerging technologies as part of its Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) Sector Strategy. The Supplier Innovation Program delivers a series of challenges or business problems to METS sector participants and invites their participation in workshops to develop solutions to these challenges. The winning solution has the opportunity to become a paid pilot program, with the potential for the supplier to win ongoing work with BHP.
