THIS MONTH: EcoHoist: How a Startup Innovation is Making Underground Mine Decarbonisation Affordable

The future of underground mining could be on the verge of a major shift—one that significantly reduces capital costs while improving safety and sustainability. Join us for a conversation with Matthew Forrest, co-founder and inventor of EcoHoist, a groundbreaking new hoisting solution designed to offer a far more affordable alternative to traditional skip hoists.

Though still in development, EcoHoist is already generating strong interest from Tier 1 mining companies and industrial heavyweights like ABB and MMD, thanks to its potential to slash infrastructure costs, eliminate diesel haulage, and operate entirely on clean electricity. In this session, Matthew will share the story behind EcoHoist’s rapid rise in industry attention, the challenges and opportunities of bringing a disruptive technology to market, and what’s next for this promising innovation.

If you’re curious about new mining technologies, startup scaling, or the future of underground operations, this is an event you won’t want to miss. Be part of the conversation and gain early insights into a technology that could reshape the industry.
