The Chilean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK Chile) promotes the development of modern, sustainable, and innovative mining, strengthening cooperation between Chile and Germany across the entire value chain of the sector. Through its Mining Business Center, the institution fosters the exchange of knowledge, technology, and best practices, connecting companies, authorities, academia, and suppliers from both countries. This platform facilitates joint projects, business missions, market studies, and spaces for strategic dialogue—such as the Chilean-German Forum on Mining and Mineral Resources—aimed at addressing the challenges facing the industry.

The focus is on driving more efficient and responsible mining by integrating technological innovation, digitalization, electrification, and solutions for the decarbonization of production processes. Likewise, AHK Chile encourages the development of sustainable supply chains and the efficient use of resources, contributing to ensuring that mining continues to be a key driver of the country’s economic and social development. In this context, Chilean-German collaboration makes it possible to combine Chile’s leadership in mining with Germany’s technological and industrial expertise, promoting an industry prepared to meet the challenges of the energy transition and the economy of the future.

The German Coal and Post-Mining Association (bsn), previously known as the German Coal Mining Association (GVSt) until it was renamed on 1 March 2021, is the trade association, employers' association and collective bargaining party for the German coal mining industry, which is now in the post-mining era following the end of coal mining.

As a trade association, the bsn represents the interests of its members in matters relating to post-mining activities, with a focus on mine drainage, environmental protection and land reclamation, as well as in other issues relating to former mines, such as shaft stabilisation and rehabilitation. To this end, the association cooperates in central and umbrella organisations in the German federal states, at German federal level and at European level. It engages in dialogue with political and administrative bodies.

As an employers' association, the bsn is the collective bargaining party for the German coal industry in the post-mining era and supports its members in matters of employment law, social law and company pensions. An important milestone was the conclusion of a comprehensive post-mining collective agreement, which was signed in mid-2021 and replaced the collective agreements for the German coal industry with effect from 1 January 2022. In addition, the bsn performs tasks relating to the autonomous administration of  mining-related social insurance institutions. At employers' association level, the bsn is also involved in the formulation of the framework conditions for its member companies through its participation in professional and umbrella associations.

The 3D-US Lab offers underground seismic surveys for the exploration of underground structures and seismic product solutions such as source and receiver systems for use in tunnels and boreholes. 3D underground seismics uses high-resolution three-dimensional images to map the surroundings of underground structures and provide information on the position and spatial orientation of geotechnically relevant structures such as faults.

For more than 20 years, the 3D Underground Seismics research group at the GFZ has been working on the development of seismic measurement methods and instruments for underground use, which are further developed to meet customer requirements. In the Helmholtz Innovation Lab 3D-US Lab, the 3D Underground Seismics research group at the GFZ has established a network for technology transfer together with industry representatives and mining universities.

The name RAG remains inextricably linked with the history of an industry that has contributed to Germany's prosperity and economic strength for generations. However, this was also associated with a considerable impact on the environment and nature. We are shaping the future on the shoulders of this history. The mining era leaves us with lasting responsibilities and tasks. RAG has a broad portfolio of expertise. Expertise acquired through active mining - be it the development of raw materials, the demanding specialities of dewatering or the development and use of large-scale technology. The expertise gained from over 100 years of engineering practice also makes the difference in times of sustainable transformation.

For more than 200 years, natural resources have shaped the special profile of our university Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola (THGA). Today we have continued our legacy of industrial roots in a future-oriented way. At the Research Center of Post-Mining, experts explore how the complex tasks related to the closure, recultivation and follow-up of former mining regions can be managed responsibly. The scientific team focuses on future potential. Therefore, they are working together on an interdisciplinary basis in four research areas:
 

1. Perpetual tasks and minewater management
2. Geomonitoring in post-mining
3. Material sciences for the preservation of industrial heritage
4. Land use & transition

The research activities currently focus on the tasks arising in connection with the discontinuation of active coal mining in Germany. That said, post-mining is by no means limited to the mining areas located in the Ruhr, Saar and Ibbenbüren districts. The Research Center see this as a global remit, and one that has potential for every other branch of mining throughout the world.
