In the knowledge economy, the connection to poles of innovation is key. Like essential infrastructure – highways and utility lines – countries also need to build intangible bridges that allow the flow of knowledge.
Those bridges of knowledge are a public good that need to be nurtured at the national and state level. Government leadership is fundamental, but they also require close collaboration from the private sector to achieve effective results.
ChileMass, located in Boston, one of the world’s top innovation hubs, is playing that role, actively creating collaborations between the public and the private sectors in a nimble and innovative way.
We are a non-profit organization (501c3) incorporated in the United States, which has the support of the Chilean and Massachusetts governments. We are the result of one of the pillars of Chile foreign policy, which seeks to promote collaborations in science, technology, and education to help the country insert into the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The ChileMass office is located in Kendall Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Cambridge Innovation Center.
