MCM Webinar to Explore Engineering Innovation and Opportunities for Citizen Businesses in Mining

MCM Webinar to Explore Engineering Innovation and Opportunities for Citizen Businesses in Mining. Morupule Coal Mine (MCM) is set to host the third installment of its Citizen Economic Empowerment (CEE) Webinar Series, focused on unlocking opportunities for citizen-owned businesses in Botswana’s mining sector.

Scheduled to take place online, the upcoming webinar is titled “Advancing Innovation through Engineering – Opportunities for Citizen Businesses in Mining.” The session aims to provide local entrepreneurs with insights into how engineering innovation can be harnessed to create value and build competitive advantage in mining-related enterprises.

Leading the conversation will be Mr. Gilbert Bachopi, Divisional Engineer at Morupule Coal Mine, who brings extensive industry experience and practical knowledge of engineering systems and local supply chain dynamics. Participants can expect an engaging discussion on the intersection between technical innovation and citizen economic empowerment, including practical steps for business integration into the mining value chain.

The CEE webinar series, spearheaded by MCM, is part of an ongoing effort to foster inclusive economic participation by capacitating local businesses with industry-specific knowledge and opportunities. The initiative supports Botswana’s broader national objectives around citizen empowerment, skills development, and economic diversification.

Entrepreneurs, especially those operating or interested in sectors such as mechanical engineering, fabrication, electrical services, and industrial solutions, are encouraged to register and attend. The webinar provides a rare opportunity to directly engage with a mining industry expert and learn more about the evolving needs of one of the country’s key economic sectors.
