Opportunities to overcome sectorial and geographic fragmentations towards common ecosystems of innovation are specifically valuable across productive development. because greater productivity allows, among other things, to distribute more goods and services among the population (OECD, 2023). However, there are specific and common challenges in both Extractive and Service Industries that require a collaborative and innovative approach to be solved.
Extractive Sector, specifically in minery, forest and energy, require efficient operations to remain competitive and environmentally sustainable. Achieving sustainable and productive development requires interdisciplinary research to develop context-specific, data-driven solutions and bring technological transformation. Optimizing industrial processes for sustainability will enhance predictive maintenance and process optimization, addressing inefficiencies in sectors like mining investment permits. Innovations within extractive industries will minimize energy consumption and waste generation, directly contributing to climate change mitigation.
In terms of Service Sector, specifically in healthcare, education, commerce and finance, challenges in management, inequality and efficiency are pressing with urgency. In healthcare, long waiting times for medical procedures, inefficient allocation of hospital resources, unequal access to healthcare services, and a lack of integration between public and private health providers are generated because technological adoption is often slow, and critical health data is underutilized for policy making.
Implement disruptive solutions with a public purpose that increase social, economic and environmental value in key productive sectors, catalyzing the production of knowledge from a transdisciplinary approach.
Propel a new technology transfer model to accelerate the sustainable and productive transformation of the country.
Become the trusted advisor within collaborative ecosystems for the development of public purpose innovations, through disruptive technological solutions in response to the main challenges of the country's sustainable and productive development.
To maximise its public impact, CLIPP emphasises knowledge transfer as an integral strategic axis:
The potential demand for the Center's technological services in both Extractive and Services Sectors, is driven, first from the strategic partnerships productive requirements, the acceleration of transference fed by valuable ideas from the ecosystem and training professionals for effectively implementing disruptive innovations. In that arena The Center will act as a facilitator and articulator between academia and public or private organizations. Since our objective is to implement disruptive solutions with a public purpose that increase social, economic and environmental value in key productive sectors, catalyzing the production of knowledge from a transdisciplinary approach, The Center will innovate by creating paths so the knowledge and expertise from the Academia is able to cross the road into public spheres and create pathways towards collaborative solutions.
Extractive Sector, specifically in minery, forest and energy.
Service Sector, specifically in healthcare, education, commerce and finance.
The building is located in the heart of Santiago and is part of the city's main axis. This strategic location is not only in the centre, but is also part of the institutional axis formed by the Universidad de Chile and the sector's urban renewal plan, connecting with key spaces such as the Andrés Bello Campus, VM 20, GAM and the Museum of Fine Arts. Its location is an added value for the city and the university community.
Our Innovation Co-laboratory, located in the centre of the city, connects spaces for strengthening the civic fabric and fosters collaboration between different actors. This space aims to be a meeting place to generate creative solutions that have a positive impact on social and urban development.
The institutional proposal for the façade combines design and functionality, integrating two main materials that respond to the social and geographical context of the building.
The second floor is characterised by its robustness and security, thanks to a micro-perforated steel cladding designed to prevent access by outsiders. This material is carefully selected, with thicknesses and models adapted to the specific needs of the project.
On the upper levels, movable expanded metal panels are proposed, with sufficient density to allow light to pass through when closed. These panels will also protect the windows and can be moved to maximise light, improve ventilation or facilitate the maintenance of elements such as air conditioning and the façade itself. This design provides dynamism and a corporate identity that can be adapted to the city's events.
This proposal gives the building a unique identity that positions it as a symbol in the collective consciousness. It not only represents the capabilities and innovative spirit of the Co-laboratory, but also consolidates the Universidad de Chile as an outstanding reference in innovation at the national level.
