In my opinion, successful business does not happen by just identifying opportunities and selling the right products that will satisfy customers needs. In this ever changing world successful business happens by anticipating new market trends and its main actors. Therefore it is important to be aware of decisions made by government and how these can create new markets.
The video attached to this blog is from a meeting at the Chilean Minister of Energy. The video showcases Andres Romero, Advisor for the Energy Minister and Claudio Huepe, Chief of Studies Development. On the video, the Energy Advisor refers to how is looking forward to working with the British Embassy. "I have had an excellent experience working previously with the British Embassy (Maria Pia)on the healthcare reform. In the area of energy, we think there is scope for collaboration, since there are many issues to be addressed". The Chief of Studies Development added that "in the area of studies, we are working with the Embassy on a rather unexplored issue which is marine energy, in which the UK already has expertise".
The main challenge for this Department, which was created this year, is to combat an energy crisis due to a reduction of gas supply from Argentina and to diversify the energy grid, as well as to define a renewable energy policy and establish an energy sector reform in Chile. At the British Embassy Santiago, we are supporting this process and encouraging the creation of new areas for businesss and support businesses looking to invest or introduce new technologies, as well as expertise.
