Empowering future generations

Indonesia is a country rich in natural resources and needs skilled professionals who can handle the complexities of the mining industry.

Maptek supports the next generation of geologists, mining engineers, surveyors and geodetic engineers by providing student licences to Indonesian universities. 

This initiative reflects a dedication to enhancing educational development and empowering graduates.

PT Asaba, Maptek reseller in Indonesia, conducts training sessions and mentoring programs for university students and lecturers, focusing on the practical applications of Maptek Vulcan and PointStudio. 

‘Vulcan provides UPN Veteran Yogyakarta and Sriwijaya University with integrated solutions knowledge for the validation and transformation of data into dynamic 3D models, mine designs and operational plans,’ said Zulfa Nindya, Technical Sales Geologist for PT Asaba.

The relationship between Maptek and PT Asaba dates from 2014 and has been extremely effective at delivering training, solution rollout and ongoing technical support to Maptek customers in Indonesia.

In the latest news, Gadjah Mada University Geodesy Department will teach Maptek PointStudio in their geodetic engineering courses.

‘These new initiatives extend our partnership to actively support mining undergraduates looking to boost their skills and career prospects,’ said Maptek Technical Services Manager, Simon Johnston.

Partnerships provide transformative opportunities for aspiring mining professionals. 

Students gain access to industry-standard software, allowing them to engage in hands-on experiences that deepen their understanding of geological modelling, resource estimation and mine planning. This practical engagement enhances their educational journey and also bridges the gap between theory and real-world applications.

‘We understand that technology is one of the key pillars in the advancement of education and research. By investing in education, we’re equipping future generations with the skills necessary to tackle the evolving challenges of the industry,’ said Madiono Lie, General Manager of PT Asaba.

Access to cutting-edge technology and resources equips students with the skills they need to excel in a rapidly evolving industry. 

Maptek’s commitment to fostering strong partnerships with universities will ensure that together, we nurture innovative thinkers who will drive the future of sustainable mining practices.

With each step, we’re not just investing in education—we’re investing in a brighter, more responsible future for the mining sector in Indonesia and beyond.
