INNOVAdrinks “Sustainability: Waste Management”

At the Nace BCI Center, this Tuesday, November 26, our 14th InnovaDrinks: "Sustainability and Waste Management", an occasion on which the importance of the circular economy and disruptive technologies were addressed to reduce the environmental impact caused by various industries on the planet, in addition to their contribution to innovation and their contribution to the generation of business opportunities.

The event included presentations by Rodrigo Valiente, Planning Director of the Urbaser Danner Group; Constanza Cifuentes, IdeaTech Commercial Coordinator; Enrique Steynberg, CEO of Simple Data Corp; and Cristián Emhart, CEO of Food for the Future (F4F) and Nicolás Behar, CEO of Recylik; both winners of the InnovaSummit 2019 held last August in the Agtech and Construtech categories, respectively; as well as an important delegation of Dutch businessmen and investors, protagonists who discussed their experiences, the latest trends and developments regarding the circular economy and waste management.

For Constanza Cifuentes, IdeaTech Sales Coordinator, this 14th InnovaDrinks “was a great meeting and very interesting, for which I am grateful that they invited me. I think there are few instances like this where one can really approach people who come from abroad and who are interested in learning about Chilean technology. In our country there is a lot of very good quality technology that we can export, so I think that these types of events are very valuable for the entire ecosystem and to motivate other people who are also thinking of doing innovation.”

In the same way, Christian Emhart of F4F, pointed out that “it was a great night where we addressed the importance of the circular economy and waste management with presentations by very good speakers and startups that contribute to recycling and circular economy. The relationship with the audience was very interesting, mainly with the delegation of Dutch businessmen and investors who were present. It was a great meeting because in these instances the bonding and interaction with various actors is encouraged”.

For its part, Enrique Steynberg, CEO of Simple Data Corp., was grateful to participate in this InnovaDrinks, since "it was spectacular, where the innovation that is being done in Chile was shown, and in a topic of global importance, where the interested parties that are innovating were able to meet, which means an important impulse for the industry and for the country, for which reason this type of initiative must be continued in order to materialize all the investments in technological breakthroughs that are being developed”.

Finally, Nicholas Behar, from Recylink, said that “it was quite good, we had a great time, with a lot of participation and questions from the attendees, so it was very entertaining, in addition to being able to meet people who work in the circular economy, for which we greatly appreciate the invitation and are happy to continue participating in more Innova360 activities”.
