Cfiagrotech 2023’s “Despega Tu Emprendimiento” (Take Off Your Startup) Contest Participate in the “Despega Tu Emprendimiento” contest, a call in which all small and medium-sized companies in the agri-food sector can participate, to be part of the International Fair and Congress on innovation and technologies in agri-food, CfiAgrotech. SMEs and startups interested in participating must answer a brief survey on the website www.cfiagrotech.cl, and will be automatically registered in the contest. Registrations will be open between July 6 and August 31. For further information, please contact us at concurso@cfiagrotech.cl. Once registered, participants will be registered and 150 companies will be randomly drawn during the month of August. Those selected, whether they are SMEs or startups, will receive as a prize a subsidy of 60% of the value of the stand, so they can be part of the meeting, in specially designed areas with Pitch and Match making services at their disposal. This opportunity is brought to CfiAgrotech thanks to the collaboration agreement with Harvard, Yale, Duke and Boston universities, which will conduct a study to assess the impact of participating in trade fairs and expanding their networks for small and medium-sized enterprises and startups, as well as to understand the adoption of technologies in the agri-food sector. The study is supported by the Luksic Foundation and CORFO, and sponsored by the National Society of Agriculture, Transforma Alimentos, TheYieldLab, Fundacion Chile, Imagine, the Ministry of Economy and the Productivity Commission. The First International Congress and Fair of Innovation and Technologies in Agri-Food, CfiAgrotech, which will bring together the most relevant actors of the global agri-food industry, will be held between October 24 and 26 at the Metropolitan Santiago convention center, located at Av. San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer 5600, Vitacura.
