Among the Open Innovation partners in our ecosystem, LEO has supplied the best solutions to our challenges. The greatest benefit that we have experienced from working with LEO is that innovations are not restricted to the typical mining ecosystem/sphere of influence, and solutions from other industries which may benefit the mining industry is also available to us through the LEO platform. The LEO team is always helpful and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend LEO as an ecosystem partner for any mining company.
