IMFD Innovation is invited to be part of the Corfo Conecta program

January 2023.- As part of the “Corfo Conecta” program, run by the Production Development Corporation (Corfo), this entity visited the offices of the Millennium Institute Foundational Research on Data (IMFD) at the Centro de Innovación UC, seeking to introduce various companies to the IMFD Innovation and Technology Transfer area.

The program, an initiative of Corfo’s Innovation Management, seeks to connect entrepreneurs, service providers, research centers, and others, in order to foster collaboration.

“For us it is important that IMFD be part of Corfo Conecta, because as a relevant research and development center in the industry, it can be an alternative for solving certain problems detected by the innovative projects supported by Corfo’s Innovation Management, which annually oversees 1,000 projects underway at different stages and across various economic sectors,” said Marichen Galdames Goldberg, Corfo Conecta’s Networking & Services Executive.

“During the visit, we presented the topics researched at IMFD and the capabilities we have, prioritizing the services we provide that can be useful for entrepreneurs and companies looking to use their data strategically or that need support to innovate by developing or adopting technology to make the most of their data,” said Jazmine Maldonado, CEO of IMFD Innovation. This resulted in a direct connection between entrepreneurs and the institute to work on solving problems through data science.
