Boston Welcomes the Largest Chilean Innovation Event Abroad
This year, Boston—a city known for its energy and innovation—hosted ChileMass Innovation Day 2024, a milestone event that celebrated the growing synergy between Chile and Massachusetts. It was an inspiring gathering, packed with impactful announcements and ideas that could shape the future for Chilean startups.
Key Announcements and Milestones
One of the biggest moments was the announcement of a new $40 million venture fund led by AccelHub Venture Partners. With its sights set on supporting Chilean tech startups, AccelHub’s decision is a testament to the rich talent emerging in Chile. Greg Bauer, a partner at ScaleUp Labs, reflected on this with excitement: “Chile has an incredible pool of talent, and this fund allows us to strengthen ties and bring U.S. investment to an ecosystem with immense potential.”
The Startup Campus project was another highlight. This accelerator platform, created to foster cross-border connections, will enable Chilean and Massachusetts entrepreneurs to access mentorship and resources, bridging the gap between two thriving innovation communities. And in a nod to growing international support, a major Californian accelerator announced plans to open a Chilean office—a powerful step in connecting Chilean startups to global markets.
