About e
Illustrated notes from the talks and panels at the second Dual Hub Summit.
The event brought together representatives from the defense sector, academia, industry, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem around a common theme: dual innovation as a development strategy for Chile.
Its pages cover a wide range of topics, from Gene Keselman’s talk at MIT on startups to the results of the Avante Shipbuilding Challenge—the first open innovation program in the defense sector developed in the country—as well as the experience of Spain’s CDTI and the debate on the enabling architecture that Chile needs to build.
