Bridging LatAm and global deep tech ecosystems
Powered by Hello Tomorrow and built as part of the STARTUPLAB.01 Residency Program in Chile, the Deep Scale Climate Tech Accelerator helps deep tech ventures enter Latin America.
STARTUPLAB.01 operates as a paid, structured soft-landing platform in Chile, providing operational labs, ecosystem integration and direct access to strategic industries such as mining and advanced industrial sectors. From Chile, startups can strategically expand into the broader Latin American market.
The hub features nearly 1,000 m² of specialised laboratories designed for deep tech startups, bridging the critical gap between technological validation and commercialisation.
Are you developing climate solutions linked to these topics?
This is a non-exhaustive list: all startups operating in a relevant field will be considered for the programme.
Climate-resilient food systems
Startups improving how food is produced, processed and distributed under climate stress, including new ingredients, fermentation, soil regeneration, precision agriculture and alternatives to legacy chemicals.
Clean energies & transition
Solutions accelerating decarbonisation through renewable generation, storage, grid efficiency, electrification, energy management and technologies that reduce fossil fuel dependence.
Environment & biodiversity
Technologies for monitoring, protecting and restoring ecosystems, including carbon capture, storage and use, waste valorisation, water desalination and mining-related technologies.
Sustainable cities & infrastructure
Innovations that reduce the environmental footprint of buildings and infrastructure, including low-carbon materials, circular construction and smarter design and build processes.
