Ignacio Fernandez pointed out that Chilean presence in Dubai reflects the country's effort to seek new opportunities and diversify the target markets for Chilean exports, particularly in Services. In this regard, the Gulf countries, have a high business potential that Chilean companies are taking advantage of.
In fact, for example, during the first semester of 2025, Chilean service shipments to the United Arab Emirates reached US$1.3 million, with a growth of 55% compared to the same period the previous year. This demonstrates how our country is achieving consolidation, with a wide range of offers we are showcasing to this regional market.
Chile has the talent, creativity, and science to transform the future. From the Fundaci贸n Chile, we drive this potential to become solutions that contribute to the sustainable development of the planet. Dubai represents an opportunity to build bridges between ecosystems that share the vision of creating progress through innovation.
Through startuplab.01 and public-private collaboration, we want our science and technology-based startups to transcend borders. The solutions that we can generate in Chile for challenges such as climate change, can perfectly impact different territories, including those in the Gulf region, emphasizes the president of the Fundaci贸n Chile, Pablo Zamora.
In turn, Sharif Chacoff adds, "From ProChile, we aim to consolidate our presence in the United Arab Emirates and in the Middle East, promoting the diversification of our exports. Events like the Innovation Summit Chile Dubai provide visibility to Chilean companies and strengthen their internationalization process, while projecting a new export offer based on innovation and focused on the key industries of the region."
