We are convinced that when an entrepreneur moves forward, Chile moves forward. This is why we are passionate about helping them boost their businesses, in order to multiply their the impact they have on people and our society. Through the Impulso Chileno program, we provide fundamental support by awarding financial and academic companionship for formal business entrepreneurs from all over the country, with the objective of making their ventures grow.
