Burgundy is naturally renowned for its famous wines, but also for 'Burgundy Stone' (Pierre de Bourgogne), which holds a Geographical Indication (GI). Like many metropolitan regions, it has seen the closure of its coal and metal mines, yet it has preserved and evolved its industrial heritage. It boasts renowned industries dedicated to rail transport, such as Alstom in Belfort manufacturing TGVs, trains, and metro cars, as well as Peugeot's automotive manufacturing in Doubs.

It has also become a historic hub for the nuclear power industry, linked to facilities in Chalon-sur-Saône and Le Creusot, where Framatome manufactures reactor components for both domestic and international nuclear parks. Ranking first in France for industry and R&D, Burgundy perfectly aligns with the exhibition's theme: the re-industrialization, development, and valorization of resources.

The SIM Exhibition is a premier event in the mining sector, attracting mining-related enterprises, professionals, and technology enthusiasts from around the globe. It offers industry insiders a unique opportunity to explore the latest technologies, products, and services, while serving as a dynamic platform for networking and business matchmaking.
