The Atacama Region was once again the industry's epicentre with a successful edition of Expo FOREDE 2026, the go-to meeting point for the mining sector's leading players. On this high-profile stage, Yoy Simulators had a strong presence alongside the Association of Industrial Mining Suppliers (SUTMIN) and other leading companies in the field. Today's mining challenges call for large-scale solutions, and our participation in the event reaffirmed one of our deepest convictions: by bringing together organizations, talent and vision, industrial challenges can be tackled from entirely new perspectives.
Our main goal at the fair? To show how we are radically transforming the way knowledge is passed on in mining. At Yoy Simulators we help companies take their training to the next level, recreating immersive virtual environments for operating highly complex equipment, such as diamond drills, and for managing critical emergencies. Our technology lets workers practise exact procedures as many times as they need, without being exposed to real risks. Through this interactive repetition, operators internalize safe and efficient responses, improving productivity and protecting lives in the field.
While at FOREDE, we had the pleasure of talking with the Antofagasta TV team for their programme "Minería al Día". In the interview we went deeper into the strategic value of technological collaboration and how immersive solutions are reshaping the future of mining safety. You can watch the full conversation in the following video:
Many thanks to SUTMIN for its ongoing work strengthening the supplier ecosystem, and to Antofagasta TV for the airtime. At Yoy Simulators we will keep driving collective innovation, showing that virtual reality is the ultimate tool for building safer, more modern and more efficient mining.
