The program offers USD 140,000 to be shared among the winning teams.
Until July 16, startups from Latin America can apply to the Know Hub Ignition 04 entrepreneurship program, an initiative of Know Hub Chile in collaboration with Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico) that seeks to accelerate science- and technology-based ventures from across the region.
Javier Ramírez, executive director of Know Hub Chile, said that “across its different editions, Know Hub Ignition has proven to be an effective tool for turning science into innovation; in this new edition, in addition to Chile, we will use that knowledge, experience and networks to expand our search to Colombia and Mexico.”
Silvia Mora, Associate Director of Engagement, Market Strategy and Fund Management at Tecnológico de Monterrey, emphasized that joining the Know Hub Ignition 04 program is very important, “because with this training, through our mentors, we will be able to identify and guide Latin American entrepreneurial talent so they can create their EBCTs and connect with the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem in Mexico and our EBCTec-Bridge softlanding program.”
It is worth noting that the program offers USD 140,000 to be shared among the winning teams, and has two categories. The first covers all areas of science and technology, such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics, software, synthetic biology, sensors and space technologies, among others. The second focuses on dual innovation, understood as the process through which science and technology act as a means of interaction between the Defense world and the Civilian world, generating value in both contexts.
