CHILE INNOVATION NIGHT 2025!

Experience the vibrant spirit of Chilean innovation at Chile Innovation Night 2025—a celebration of creativity, technology, and cross-continental collaboration. On October 23, from 5:00 to 8:30 PM, Venture Café Cambridge will come alive with the energy of Chile’s most promising startups and the global leaders who inspire them.

The evening begins with a look into the future of biotech through the panel “Innovating in Life Sciences: Insights from Boston and Ibero-America .” Hear from industry experts including Carolina Alarco, Mercedes Balcells, and Maericho Gálvez, Chief of Entrepreneurship at CORFO, Chile’s government agency that supports innovation and entrepreneurship. They will explore key trends shaping the life sciences landscape and discuss how academics, investors, and public institutions are advancing innovation across Chile, Spain, and the U.S.

Then, the spotlight turns to the nine finalist startups of ChileMass Emprende 2025, selected from over 30 pioneering projects. In rapid-fire three-minute pitches, founders will showcase their bold solutions and technologies across sectors—from health and sustainability to biotech and digital innovation. Between pitches, enjoy the sounds of Chilean musician Nico Emden, authentic empanadas, and fine Chilean wine as you connect with entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation enthusiasts from both sides of the hemisphere.

Presented by ChileMass, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering collaboration and innovation between Chile and Massachusetts, this event embodies the power of international partnership and shared progress.
