Alessandri joins Chile’s National Innovation Ecosystem in Partnership with Know Hub Chile

With the goal of providing legal support to early-stage science and technology-based startups, Alessandri Abogados has joined Know Hub Chile as a collaborator in its Know Hub Ignition program, officially marking its entry into the national innovation ecosystem.

In a partnership that marks a milestone in bridging the legal sector with Chile’s national innovation ecosystem, Alessandri Abogados joins Know Hub Chile as a strategic collaborator.

This collaboration represents an evolution in how law firms engage with the country’s technological development, contributing their expertise in intellectual property, corporate advisory, and legal structuring to support scientific and technological ventures with high-impact potential.

Know Hub is a non-profit organization that connects key players in the innovation ecosystem to transform research outcomes into products and services—in other words, into innovation. It emerged from public policy efforts to transition Chile into a knowledge-based economy and society. Know Hub currently includes eight partner universities and three research centers or institutes.

Know Hub Ignition, now in its fifth edition, is a startup acceleration program open until May 21. Its goal is to fast-track science and technology-based startups toward the market, providing them with tools, mentorship, and key networks for growth. In this context, the inclusion of Alessandri Abogados strengthens the program’s legal component, offering critical support during a pivotal stage in the entrepreneurial journey.

"Alessandri’s entry into the innovation ecosystem is a major step that shows how different disciplines can work together to boost tech entrepreneurship in Chile. With over a century of experience and prestige, Alessandri brings invaluable legal backing to entrepreneurs. Having proper legal support from the outset can make all the difference in a project’s success and sustainability", says Javier Ramírez, Executive Director of Know Hub Chile.

"This alliance with Know Hub Chile is a great opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the country’s innovation ecosystem. As a key player in the science, technology, knowledge, and innovation (STKI) sector, Know Hub accelerates the transformation of knowledge into high-impact solutions. Our involvement as strategic collaborators strengthens the link between universities, research centers, startups, industry, and the public sector. In doing so, we help energize the national ecosystem and boost technology transfer with tangible benefits for Chilean society
