For software and technology vendors
Get your technology into Africa's next mines
Systems are chosen at two moments: during the studies that design a mine, and across the operations that run one. AMIQ surfaces both, with the owners and engineers who specify the software, automation and monitoring a project will buy.
Subscribe to see modernising projects and operations, with the decision-makers who choose the systems.
The two-moment pitch
Be there when the system is chosen, not after
A technology sale rarely starts with a tender. The architecture is sketched during feasibility and design, and the budget is committed when an operation decides to modernise. AMIQ maps both windows across Africa, from the 437 sites still in study and build to the 453 already producing, so your sales team reaches the owner or engineer while the requirement is still being shaped.
Where technology gets bought
Two moments tech gets chosen
Technology demand splits cleanly in two. During the study and build pipeline, digital tools, modelling and control systems are specified into the design of 437 projects. Across the operational base, 453 producing mines are deploying automation, monitoring and analytics as they push for efficiency. AMIQ shows you both pools so you sell to the right buyer at the right stage.

Where the demand sits
African mining projects by region
Technology buyers cluster across five regions, with Southern Africa out in front and the East and West close behind. Every bar links to that region's full coverage, helping you weigh the markets where your platform already has reference sites or a channel partner on the ground.

From phase to system
What technology gets chosen at each stage
A mine buys different systems at different moments, and the platform pins each site to its current stage. That lets you pitch the technology actually on the table rather than one the buyer has no budget for yet.
Digital studies, modelling and design systems
Digital feasibility tools, geological and process modelling, simulation and design platforms, specified as the study team frames how the mine will be built and run.
Control systems, instrumentation and integration
Process control and SCADA, instrumentation, sensors and systems integration, chosen and installed as the design is turned into a working plant.
Automation, monitoring, optimisation, ERP and analytics
Automation and fleet management, condition monitoring, process optimisation, ERP, IoT and data analytics, bought continuously across producing mines as they cut cost and lift recovery. Reach the operation while the modernisation budget is being set, not after a competitor has already been specified in.
How AMIQ wins you deals
Track, reach, target and win
A single login converts the continent's pipeline and producing base into a qualified prospect list your revenue team works through week after week.
Track both demand windows
Watch projects move through study and build alongside producing mines deciding to upgrade, refreshed continuously, so neither buying moment slips past unseen.
Reach the system owners
Direct lines to 746 mine owners plus 661 engineers and consultants, the people whose signature lands on a technology choice.
Target the right fit
Screen sites by stage, mineral and geography to confirm which ones suit your stack, sparing your sellers from chasing poor-fit leads.
Win the specification
Get an email the instant a site enters a buying stage, putting you in the room while requirements are fluid and no rival is entrenched.
Built for technology business development
Stop learning about deals after the spec is closed
For most technology vendors the first signal of a requirement is the shortlist invitation, long after an architecture has been sketched and a rival quietly favoured. The platform pulls you upstream with project intelligence that charts mining across Africa the way demand genuinely forms: from the study desk where digital tooling and control systems get written in, through to the production floors weighing automation and analytics each quarter.
Point your effort where your offering competes hardest. Strong in the south? Work Southern Africa. Chasing fast-growth gold and copper belts? Lean into East Africa and West Africa, with the copper heartland of Central Africa and phosphate-rich North Africa rounding out the map. Catch new mining projects in Africa as soon as each one is logged, and lean on AMIQ online collaboration to keep every seller working one shared pipeline.
Trusted by technology suppliers
Technology firms winning work with AMIQ
Automation, process control, instrumentation, software and digital systems vendors alike turn to the platform to pinpoint and approach the projects and operations that genuinely fit their offering.
AMIQ provides excellent information and comprehensive key contacts which is regularly updated, supported by a superb team and an easy-to-use platform. Leveraging this powerful resource has contributed significantly to Festo's business growth over the past three years, since targeting the mining sector as a new growth sector.

Common questions
What technology vendors ask before subscribing
How does AMIQ help a software or technology vendor win deals?
Systems get chosen at two distinct points, and the platform exposes both: study teams writing digital tools, modelling and control systems into a design, and producing mines investing in automation, monitoring and analytics. Because owner and engineer contacts sit alongside each site, your team can pitch while the requirement is still being shaped.
How many sites can a technology vendor target?
890 in all. The specification pipeline holds 437 projects (194 pre-feasibility, 96 feasibility, 67 bankable, 80 in execution), and the producing base adds 453 mines actively deploying and refining systems. Together they sit inside total coverage of 2,245 African projects and mines.
Whose contact details can I reach?
Subscribing unlocks direct lines to 746 mine owners together with 661 engineers and consultants, the decision-makers who shape and approve a technology choice. The platform also shows which suppliers already hold a position at a site, letting you concentrate where you can realistically be specified in.
Which regions does it cover?
Every one of the continent's five regions sits in scope. The largest pool is Southern Africa at 835 sites. East Africa follows with 586 and West Africa with 578, then the Central and Northern belts. Focus wherever your platform already holds proof points or a local channel.
Can I be notified when a site reaches a buying stage?
Yes. Save filters for the stages, minerals and geographies you sell into, and an email lands the moment a fresh site qualifies or shifts stage. The early warning gets you to the owner or engineer while their system requirement is still taking shape.
Why is timing so decisive in technology sales?
Architectures are drawn during feasibility and design, and upgrade spend gets approved the moment an operation commits to modernise. Arrive once those decisions are made and a competitor is usually already favoured. Exposing both buying moments early hands your team the runway to shape the requirement before any shortlist forms.
