Pablo Zamora is one of the most influential figures in Chile’s innovation and scientific entrepreneurship landscape. As Executive President of Fundación Chile and co-founder of NotCo, Zamora has been at the forefront of bridging science, business, and sustainability to drive Chile’s transition toward a knowledge-based economy. His leadership at Fundación Chile has accelerated the growth of science-based ventures and fostered collaborations across public, private, and academic sectors.
In this exclusive interview with LatinGulf.ae, Zamora shares his insights on the state of Chile’s innovation ecosystem, the country’s strategic participation in the Innovation Summit Chile–Dubai 2025, and how Chile aims to position itself as a reliable innovation and sustainability partner for the Gulf region and beyond.
From your position at Fundación Chile, how do you assess the current context of innovation and technological development in Chile, and what opportunities do you see for projecting it toward international markets such as the United Arab Emirates?
Chile possesses exceptional scientific talent and a strong entrepreneurial drive — we are regional leaders in entrepreneurship across Latin America — and there is a clear willingness to contribute to sustainable development. However, unlike other sectors, science and technology-based companies (STBCs) have faced greater challenges in scaling. At Fundación Chile, we are committed to promoting their growth and driving the development of a more complex, diversified, and knowledge-intensive economy.
