Climate change is affecting all countries on all continents, but Latin America is particularly affected by its effects. These effects are impacting the environment and economies. Therefore, all actors must contribute to taking concrete and immediate measures.   In this context, innovation has become key to the success and survival of organizations in a changing and increasingly technological world, creating new business models and offering unsuspected opportunities to companies and especially to startups.   This is why innovation, and technology can have a great impact on society, politics and the economy, as well as having the potential to become the driving force of sustainable development. In particular to generate solutions to the challenges we face as humanity, like the Global Sustainable Challenge.   Therefore, the State of Bavaria Office for South America is supporting the Los Ríos Regional Government, Dinamiza+ and Universidad Austral that have joined forces to bring to life the program of a 3-day conference on Sustainability.   During the DEMO DAY of our DeepTech Challenge Chile 2025 you will have the chance to learn about the innovative solutions of 5 deeptech scaleups from the Los Ríos region and their value proposition on how to solve global sustainability challenges.   Be part of the DGS 2025 and register here www.dgsostenible.cl   #DesafíoGlobalSostenible #InternacionalizaciónSostenible #LiderazgoSostenible #AcciónPorElClima #InnovaciónSostenible #FuturoVerde Dinamiza+ Javiera Zenteno Barrios Guillermo Medina Bascuñán Gobierno Regional de los Rios Universidad Austral de Chile Facea Uach Pablo Diaz Barraza Barbara Sepulveda Vanessa Nowak Maria Luisa Lozano Bioxiplas Beeing Insular Iñigo Ricalde Tagle

As the State of Bavaria Office for South America, we'd like to invite you to apply to the Transforming Inorganic Industrial Waste into Sustainable Construction Materials open call, in partnership with leading Uruguayan pulp manufacturers Montes del Plata and UPM. The goal of this program is to pilot innovative technologies aimed at transforming inorganic waste from the pulp and paper industry—such as dregs, grits, fly ash, bottom ash, and lime kiln dust—into value-added construction materials. Based on your innovative technology, we believe that your solution would be a good fit for this program! We encourage startups building solutions in the following areas to apply: • Waste into Cementitious or Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) • Waste into Geopolymers and/or Cement-Free Construction Materials • Waste into Legacy Aggregate Replacement • Waste to Other Sustainable Construction Materials • Waste into Inorganic Waste Dewatering and Drying Technologies Get the chance to work with commercial partners in LATAM with support from our Partner, Newlab in Uruguay. They can provide funding to cover pilot expenses, as well.
