The “Energy Challenge Germany 2023” is an accelerator program of the AHK Chile and the Bavarian Representation for South America. It is organized as part of the Chile-Germany Energy Partnership, an initiative of the Chilean Energy Ministry and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. German Entrepreneurship, Baystartup, the Center for Digitalization Bavaria, as well as Expande, the Chilean innovation organization for industry, and others also support the challenge.
The goal of the program is to connect energy startups from Germany with industry representatives from Chile. In this way, Chileans will get to know the innovative potential of the German startup landscape. For German startups, new international business opportunities in the Chilean energy sector open up in return. Applications are still possible until December 15, 2021.
Energy Challenge Germany winners fly to Chile
The winners of the program will be invited to Chile to explore business opportunities in the Chilean market and meet potential partners and customers, such as companies, research centers, and accelerators. They can also exchange ideas with the local energy startup ecosystem on various occasions. Additionally, they can participate in Expomin, the largest international mining fair in Latin America, and pitch their startup there. Last year, Breeze Technologies from Hamburg, Ecoligo from Frankfurt am Main, and ARI Motors from Borna secured tickets to Chile.
