Chile is a dynamic and attractive hub for businesses, companies and investors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH).

A successful track-record in innovative, climate-driven and sustainable projects, has positioned Chile at the forefront in Latin America, along with the more traditional regional powerhouses. Not by chance, Santiago is the only Latin American city, besides Mexico City and São Paulo, to host the trade and investment offices of Germany (AHK Chile), Austria (Advantage Austria) and Switzerland (SGE).
The Chile+DACH Initiative is an open, cross-background group of professionals who, in their day-to-day work in companies, laboratories, industry, academia, firms and associations, are committed to promoting, consolidating, strengthening and expanding business, investment and exchange between the two traditionally close and like-minded regions.

As Chile+DACH Initiative, we see these relations as a genuine bond of partnership between peers, working face-to-face, emphasizing mutual trust and reliability in a two-way street association.
We focus on cutting-edge sectors that are at the forefront of this association and will shape its future: renewable energies and green fuels; venture capital, start-ups and innovation; applied research and technology transfer; and carbon-neutral industries and sustainable mobility.

We contribute to this effort from the civil society, as a nonprofit, nonpartisan and nonreligious group, alongside a wide range of actors in the public and private sectors that form the current Chile-DACH ecosystem. We partner-up actively with them and push together day by day towards the same aim.

The magnitude of the challenge does not escape us for a moment.

We trust to be building upon decades of consistent commitment of the women and men who have walked this same path before us. And we believe that the best way to predict the years to come is to be there to build them, brick by brick. That is precisely the sense of purpose that bind us together: a genuine investment in contributing to the vast and collective endeavor of shaping the future of the enduring alliance between Chile and Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
