Dear friends, partners, collaborators and allies of Fundación Chile, This Impact Report seeks to transmit, through a graphic presentation of concrete cases and initiatives, how Fundación Chile works daily to move the boundary of possibility. The purpose of such an endeavour is to contribute to making Chile a more developed country, an example emerging economy that grows sustainably and competitively, a country that transforms into a regional pole for entrepreneurship and innovation, a nation that offers opportunities, provides tools and fosters a culture of innovation, which enables people to attain a better quality of life in a more dynamic and global world, with complex challenges ahead. This compendium will provide examples as diverse as fostering the development of renewable energies, models to mitigate global warming, initiatives that aim to optimize a resource as scarce as water or functional foods. It also includes actions that seek to improve the quality of education or to cover the enormous challenges in the field of human capital, such as those faced by the mining sector today. Although these initiatives are quite diverse in content, all respond to real problems or opportunities that can only be solved or leveraged through open innovation and entrepreneurship, with joint knowledge participation of multiple actors, both public and private, national and international, and the flexibility and conviction of different combinations of agents, business and technology models, in conjunction with Fundación Chile’s ”do-tank” know-how that its developed over the years. Our organization has transitioned through different phases, responding to a dynamic environment and maturity level reached by Chile’s national innovation ecosystem. In its first stage, FCh was marked by technology transfer, mainly aimed at natural resources and industry export promotion, through a model of demonstrative company development.
4
In a second stage, the concept of innovation broadened without losing its focus on industries in which Chile exhibits comparative advantages, while incorporating transversal technologies such as environmental and information technologies, biotechnology, energy and human capital. Today, we participate in a more complete and developed innovation ecosystem, with multiple interconnected actors, dynamic and globalized, that led us to a new stage we call “Fundación Chile 3.0”. Characterized by the complex articulation of this ecosystem, it connects numerous agents and fosters new possibilities for technology and entrepreneurship, taking advantage of our reputation and credibility built over 36 years of history. As an honest broker, with only society’s best interest to defend, we work to incorporate more innovation into the national production system while creating greater wealth for Chile. We take this opportunity to share part of this new vision through Fundación Chile’s Impact Report, inviting you to jointly continue working on this journey that reconciles passions and dreams, while doing more and theorizing less, as we continue moving the boundary of possibility.

Move the boundary of possibility Fundación Chile knows that moving beyond the talk of innovative practices is a challenging job. It requires a lot more than a good laboratory or an imaginative and successful entrepreneur. Through these 36 years, Fundación Chile has learned this well, consolidating itself as a “do tank”, pioneering new sectors through a portfolio of capacity building initiatives, demonstrative companies, and enabling technology services. Best known for jumpstarting the farmed salmon industry in the 1980s, launching Chile’s first venture capital funds in the 1990s, moving into renewable energies in the 2000s, and currently launching Latin America’s first Climate Exchange. The organization’s dynamic response to the country’s ever changing needs speaks of the challenges faced to remain competitive in a global context. Since its inception, Fundación Chile understood that technology transfer (usually from abroad) has given the country the opportunity to leapfrog in many aspects. By mandate, every endeavor it takes on must be in collaboration with other partners i.e technological, financial or potential clients, being the acid test that an innovation is required.

“In the past, in a slower and less global world, our innovations searched for the right answer. In the future, in a world of complex challenges, totally interconnected and dynamic, we have to start by addressing the right question. Without a doubt, the only way of achieving this is through a significant active global network based on trust. Marcos Kulka, CEO of Fundación Chile.

Converting good ideas into companies
“Fundación Chile accelerated our development process. With its commercial outlook and expertise in developing innovative projects, it helped us design our strategy and clarify the steps necessary to materialize and transform the project into a company. It also helped us raise our first funds from a private corporation, a construction company that decided to participate in this project.” Marcelo González, Co-founder of TetraBuild.*
“The worst barrier for an entrepreneur is himself. Many times, things don’t go the way you want them to and you have to know how to get up and keep going. Fundación Chile believed in Aventones and is willing to bet on it. As entrepreneurs, this means everything. Having them as clients and investors opens up the market. A client told us, “If Fundación Chile is present, it’s a guarantee.” Cristina Palacios Goddard, Co-founder of Aventones* *Company that develops an internet platform for carpooling.

60% of production growth is attributable to investments for innovation, largely explained by new organizational designs and talent development (NESTA, UK, 2012).
Innovation journey Innovation Management Model To innovate is to optimize potential benefits of a new idea. Innovation is a journey through which ideas are searched, explored, developed and exploited. The journey begins with a strategic intention and seeks to create value. Ten large corporations made the innovation journey with FCh, defining an innovation strategy and developing specific projects to increase their competitive edge in products and services.
“One of the main points this program established was developing a culture of innovation, to foster a way of seeing innovation as a relatively formal process that includes all people working in the company. The program has been very successful for us. We’ve developed a methodology and intend to lead this to a process where all areas consider innovation as something already installed.” Sebastian Bernstein, Manager of Development, Market and Large Clients at Metrogas.
“Ideas are in the air, you just have to catch them and do something with them. Arauco can do that now.” Ricardo Busch, Manager of Development, Environment, Safety & Occupational Health, Paneles Arauco.

Acid leaching is one of the most relevant environmental problems faced by the national and international mining industry.
How to produce copper with less water? Efficient water use in mining With this challenge, Fundaci贸n Chile is designing a system to reduce the amount of water used in leaching processes for the mining industry. Technology transfer from Ben-Gurion University in Israel.
Potential water savings: 5 lts/s in the leaching process, with 90 minutes of irrigation per day, translates into an annual saving of 9,855 m 3 of water. Equivalent to 1,000 water tank trucks
Sustainability until the end
Environmental assistance for mine closures FundaciĂłn Chile implements environmental technologies for closing operations, including water treatment, reservoir stabilization, dust control, monitoring and assessing acid leaching, area remediation, environmental risk analysis and procedure design for a sustainable closure, among others.
Looking at the world
• International technical visits to over 20 sites to learn best practices in mine closure.
• Creation of the International Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), an advisory board composed of worldwide experts from institutions such as the University of Queensland, the University of British Columbia, and the Colorado School of Mines.

Recovering the coastline of Viña del Mar For years, the Las Salinas grounds, along the coastline of Viña del Mar, was used by the oil industry, affecting the quality of land and groundwater. In 2006, the companies occupying these grounds started the project “Recovering Las Salinas”, so that the population would no longer be exposed to health risks.
Since October 2009, Fundación Chile participated as Independant Environmental Auditor (AAI). The sanitation phase will be finished in 2012 and a final verification sampling will be performed.
