Hub Ñuñoa: The 'talent and technology' model aiming to strengthen the commune's economy

The Hub Ñuñoa in Chile is pioneering a "talent and technology" model designed to invigorate the local economy. Adrián Soto, the director of the Hub, explained that the center functions as a crucial nexus for accelerating various local businesses.

Soto emphasized the importance of collaboration, stating, "To work with entrepreneurs, we have to work with large companies." This approach aims to forge synergistic relationships that effectively scale startup projects. He also highlighted that modernizing municipal procedures is key to lowering entry barriers for new businesses.

To further facilitate this, the Hub has integrated artificial intelligence to expedite patent applications. "We are here to test technology and improve procedures," Soto noted, positioning the municipality as a strategic partner. The initiative also supports eco-friendly projects, though details on this aspect were brief.
