Recently, a cooperation agreement with China aims to promote the Action Plan for Cooperation on Sustainable Mining Development (2025–2026) and consolidate a strategic and sustainable relationship in the global economic scenario, in addition to stimulating technological development and innovation in the mineral sector.

“Mining companies have been investing more and more in extraction, automation, environmental monitoring, and operational safety technologies. These investments generate inventions that, when properly protected, ensure a competitive advantage over the competition,” explain the experts at Di Blasi, Parente & Associados.

"The use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in mining has increased interaction between Chinese companies and the Brazilian market, requiring extra attention to compliance with local legal frameworks. In Brazil, the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), intellectual property legislation, and regulatory debates on artificial intelligence form the legal basis that guides innovative projects," emphasize the professionals at DBPA.
