In August 2026, Peru hosted two significant mining industry events focused on technological advancement and operational performance.

The XIX National Congress of Mining Engineering Students (CONEIMIN UNI 2026) convened at the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, bringing together over 1,200 participants to discuss automation, sustainability, and artificial intelligence. This event occurred alongside a period of substantial mining investment in Peru, with the Ministry of Energy and Mines reporting billions of dollars in investment and exploration projects.

Concurrently, the VII International Mineral Flotation Congress (Flotación 2026) concluded in Lima. This event gathered over 500 specialists from four continents to address topics such as copper and molybdenum recovery, digital twins, and mineralogical characterization. The congress emphasized improving operational performance through new technologies and the exchange of industry best practices.
