It was an honor to join the Blue Sky Dialogue — Unlocking Mongolia’s Digital Opportunity as a panelist on Sep 8-9, 2025, alongside leaders from government, business, and the innovation community, co-hosted by Rio Tinto, Oyu Tolgoi, BCM and the Economic Development Board.

Speaking with an audience deeply connected to the mining industry, Gema drew a parallel: just as there can be no production without investment in exploration, there can be no strong digital economy without early-stage investment in startups. Building a vibrant ecosystem requires angel investors, venture capital firms, and fund-of-funds, supported by a society that embraces a risk-taking mindset.

We also discussed the potential of specialized clusters — in mining, agriculture, fintech, and beyond. We believe Mongolia has a unique opportunity to pioneer mining technology startups, testing them in real life at world-class operations like Oyu Tolgoi, and then scaling these solutions globally.
It was inspiring to see such a strong group of people in one room, united by the vision of unlocking Mongolia’s digital opportunity. After all, it takes a city to raise a startup.

Our special thanks to Dominic Barton, Chairman at Rio Tinto, Sean Hinton, Chairman at Oyu Tolgoi, Tumentsogt Tsevegmid, Dashdorj, Anar Chinbaatar, Dan Walker, Marc Penzel, Stephen Kuester, Tana Jambaldorj, Nami Bold for making this event possible.

It was our pleasure to meet fellow industry experts in person such as Philip Vincent, Dan Herman, Henry Lane-Fox, Badral Sanlig, Mend-Orshikh Amartaivan and many more.
