Session Details
Gold is one of the world's oldest and most trusted assets, yet the industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Advances in mining technology, digital traceability, data infrastructure and financial innovation are creating new connections across the gold value chain, from production and refining through to investment and end use.
Technology is helping improve safety and operational performance at mine sites, strengthening transparency and supporting efforts to distinguish responsibly sourced gold from illicit supply. At the same time, emerging digital infrastructure is making gold more accessible, transferable and interoperable within modern financial systems.
As these innovations come together, they have the potential to create a more connected, transparent and efficient gold ecosystem. In this keynote, David Tait explores how trust and technology are reinforcing one another across the value chain, unlocking new opportunities for growth while strengthening gold's role in the global economy.
