The European project ConnectEO- led by the EARSC Consortium- aims to strengthen the companies and beneficiaries of the project in their internationalization processes and strategies, generating opportunities of cooperation between Chile and/or Australia in the European Earth Observation (EO) services and products in the maritime and agricultural sectors.

The ConnectEO Matchmaking Event seeks to promote cooperation between Chilean and European companies in order to improve productivity in the aforementioned areas. “This is a European project that seeks to connect the 19 companies, of different nationalities, with Chilean counterparts for the generation of new contacts, alliance and cooperation between companies and organisations, and enabling the transfer of knowledge and the prospection of the Chilean market for future projects”, stated Nina Morales, director of Business Cooperation.

Through these new technologies, Chilean companies and entities can be significantly empowered, preventing risks, monitoring their crops and managing urban planning that assesses the risk of wildfires and analyzes air quality, among other aspects. . “This is a unique opportunity, and we want to invite all companies in the agricultural and maritime sectors to join the event and connect online with European companies. From now on you can register and generate meetings; In addition, the activity has no cost for the companies. They only have to consider the time difference when requesting a meeting,” adds Morales.
