Ms Pamela Ortega, architect and CEO of Dreamek, a green-tech company in the construction sector, is benefitting from digitisation for her sustainable building projects. Dreamek has developed a building system that can be delivered worldwide. The interactive and fast automatic processes of the system are based on a code and AI. Ms Ortega participated in the Partnering in Business with Germany programme with the aim to enter the German market. She said: “The programme helped me to establish my business in the field of sustainable construction in Germany. By participating in the programme, I was able to work together with my commercial agent in Berlin, Ms Mildred Aguilera, a Chilean architect with 20 years of experience in Germany. The programme is also the basis for our long-term relationship with the family-run SME Am Zehnhoff-Söns, which acts as our logistics partner receiving and delivering our goods for Germany and for northern Europe via Hamburg and Rotterdam.”

Chile’s forward-looking cybersecurity policy is examplary: Chile was the first country in Latin America to adopt a framework law on cybersecurity in 2024. The Chilean government promotes not only digitisation, but also energy efficiency and sustainability. Furthermore, Chile is the leading export nation in the region, with raw materials accounting for the majority of exports, followed by food. Chile’s government increasingly builds on renewable energy as an additional economic pillar. Green hydrogen, for instance, is used to speed up the energy transition. This offers great opportunities for German companies in the fields of raw materials, renewable energy and the production of green hydrogen.
