Chile’s consistent approach to climate action and its goal to position itself as the most affordable global provider of green hydrogen from wind and solar power are important drivers for innovation. Another key vision is the development of forward-looking digital and sustainable solutions. This is likely to open up good opportunities for German companies.

Partnering in Business with Germany is open to managers from all sectors. With Chile, the focus is on sectors such as information technology, food and energy. Since 2019, a special emphasis has been placed on encouraging managers from

the green economy – i.e. the renewable energy, energy efficiency and circular economy sectors – to take part in the programme. In order to strengthen regional networking, groups bringing together Chilean and Mexican managers are being offered.

Chile set up its own alumni network ( ) in 2021. ASOGICH networks actively with German institutions in Chile (Chilean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Frauenhofer Institute, Germany Trade and Invest etc.), thus ensuring continued access to the German market for former participants of the programme.
