BHP's Supplier Innovation Program puts business challenges to Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) suppliers in a hackathon-style pitch format instead of a standard tender. The winning pitch moves into a paid pilot to test the solution before wider use, and suppliers keep their intellectual property. It launched in 2020, first in Australia with partner Austmine, after an earlier version ran in BHP's Minerals Americas business.
