In 1976, following the National Plan for the Scientific and Technology Development, Decree No 1528 was signed to legally create a new foundation called Fundación Chile . It is a non-profit and independent organisation aiming to carry out and promote scientific and technological research and innovation in different economic sectors.

Today, the foundation works as a public-private partnership promoting Chilean’s transformation towards sustainable development. It has supported different Chilean productive sectors, such as aquaculture, agribusiness, solar energy and mining.

Regarding mining, although Fundación Chile began to implement initiatives in this sector in 1998, it was in 2005 when the foundation started to play a key role. In that year, Minera Escondida joined Fundación Chile as a new partner. This new partnership allowed Fundación Chile to expand the scale of its innovation projects.

Some of the relevant Fundación Chile ’s mining initiatives are (i) the creation of the Mining Skills Council, a coordination group to address the challenges of human capital in mining (2010); and (ii) the World Class Suppliers Program (2013). This project aimed to develop a model of open innovation in mining, articulating the demand and supply of technologies and services intensive in knowledge and technology. This initiative was updated with a new program called Expande.

In particular, the Expande Program undertakes the following:

Carries out prospection of the technological solutions’ supply and demand;

Articulates and promotes the generation of collaboration networks with innovation ecosystems at a national and international level;

Fosters the exchange, scaling, and technological transfer;

Transfers knowledge and tools to the ecosystem; and

Supports suppliers with innovation projects’ portfolios to enable the development of an industry of goods and services focusing on mining with export potential.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
