Mauricio Ojeda, Manager of Grupo Singular and Director of the Ecosistema Magallanes Project, stated that this event is a result of collaboration between various institutions from the public sector, private sector, and academia. It seeks to provide collaborative spaces to address shared challenges. “The engagement of local stakeholders and the creation and strengthening of regional suppliers are just some of the many initiatives that can be advanced by working under an integrative vision and placing regional development at the center.”

Karina González, Manager of Fpyme Magallanes, explained, “This event aims to introduce this multi-sectoral digital assistance program from Corfo, which seeks to implement solutions tailored to the development and growth of SMEs. This will be achieved through the adoption of digital tools such as online sales channels, inventory control, human resource management tools, digital service channels, and self-service platforms, among others, to bridge the digital gaps that have widened post-pandemic.”

Additionally, the event will feature a special guest, the renowned national entrepreneur Marcelo Guital, founder of Benedictino Water and CEO of Guital & Partners.

Registration for the event, which is free and in-person, can be done through the website www.ecosistemamagallanes.cl or by attending the venue directly, where staff will be available for on-site registration. A mobility pass will be required for entry.
