About TECH
At TECH, we are leading the way towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. We are a platform dedicated to promoting, educating, and collaborating around the energy transition in Chile.
TECH (Chile Energy Transition) is more than an organization: we are a community of innovators, industry leaders, academics, and citizens committed to creating a sustainable energy future. We believe in the power of collaboration and innovation to transform the way we produce and consume energy.
Why is the Energy Transition Important?
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the biggest and most urgent challenges of our time. At TECH, we are committed to accelerating this change. We believe that Chile, with its abundant natural resources and innovative spirit, can be a leader in the energy transition. This is what we refer to as “Exceptional Chile”.
