Sandvik Unveils DataDrive’31 to Power Digital Innovation

Sandvik has announced DataDrive’31, a six-year technology initiative designed to accelerate the digital transformation of the mining industry through data-driven innovation. With a total budget of EUR 80 million, the program is supported by Business Finland, which has granted EUR 16 million for the first three-year phase and may contribute an additional EUR 16 million for the second phase. The remaining investment will be funded directly by Sandvik, reflecting a strong commitment to advancing digitalization across the mining value chain.
