Claudia Serrer, Trade Commissioner of ProChile in Miami, appears on the cover of Hispanic Target Magazine as she leads the Chile Tech Tour 2025, bringing 17 Chilean startups to Miami from October 6 to 10. This represents the largest delegation from Latin America this year and showcases solutions across FinTech, HealthTech, and EdTech sectors. The program features business roundtables, investor meetings, accelerator sessions, and visits to tech incubators designed to create bridges between Chilean innovation and Miami's thriving technology ecosystem.
Serrer emphasized Miami's strategic importance, stating that the city has become a natural meeting point for Latin talent, offering both geographic proximity and a multicultural environment that facilitates startup integration. The growth in participation demonstrates Miami's established role as an entry point for Chilean entrepreneurship, with the delegation expanding from initial prospecting visits to five companies in previous years to the current record of 17 startups.
While acknowledging other important technology hubs like New York, San Francisco, and Austin, Serrer positions Miami as the ideal starting point for Chilean companies entering the U.S. market. She notes that Miami's connection to both Latin America and Europe, combined with its open and expanding ecosystem, makes it particularly suitable for initial market entry. From this foundation, companies can later scale into more specialized markets such as California or Texas as they grow and adapt to U.S. market demands.
The Chile Tech Tour initiative reflects Chile's broader commitment to innovation and internationalization, with Serrer emerging as a key figure connecting Santiago and Miami while positioning Chilean startups on the global stage. For entrepreneurs hesitant about entering the competitive U.S. market, Serrer encourages leveraging available networks and tools in Miami, emphasizing the importance of responsible exploration and taking the first step toward international expansion.
This expansion of Chilean technology presence in Miami comes at a time when cross-border technology collaboration between Latin America and the United States is increasing, particularly in sectors like financial technology, healthcare technology, and educational technology where Chilean companies have developed innovative solutions. The Chile Tech Tour 2025 represents a significant milestone in this ongoing technological exchange, demonstrating the growing sophistication and global ambition of Chile's startup ecosystem.
