ChileMass Innovation Day 2022
Strategic ideas and technologies
that will affect the way we live
The two-day event is positioned as an open meeting space for actors from the innovation ecosystems of Chile and the US. It is a great opportunity to listen to top leaders, and experts talk about the latest trends to promote fertile collaboration, exchange of skills, and the development of high-value business and technological ventures.
It also represents an opportunity to invite companies and universities in the United States to invest and collaborate with Chile and the Latam region.
