TechnoServe is implementing entrepreneurship development projects in Chile with the support of private and public partners. The programs are helping high potential small and growing businesses to increase sales, jobs and wages in the local community.
TechnoServe Chile has promoted five business plan competitions and provided long term business consulting, assisting more than 360 businesses in total across a variety of sectors, such as agro-industry, manufacturing, health, services and tourism. The businesses have increased their sales 49 percent on average within a year and up to 174 percent at the end of the 18-month-long business advisory.
In Santiago, TechnoServe is helping a burgeoning small business to provide the local industry with low-cost raw materials – and at the same time protect and preserve the natural environment.
