“We want those who come to EtMday to be able to listen to these references, talk with them and learn from what they have had to experience when creating and growing their companies. In Latin America we share many challenges, and knowing how others have faced them can help those who are starting out today,” said Daniel Daccarett, co-founder of Emprende tu Mente.

EtMday as the regional epicenter of the entrepreneurial ecosystem
EtMday is held year after year with the objective of strengthening the links of the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem of Latin America, with Chile as the epicenter. Emprende tu Mente is a non-profit corporation that connects entrepreneurs and startups with leaders from the corporate world, with a focus on the economic and social development of Chile and the region.
The presence of the four international speakers adds to a program that, according to the organization, seeks not only to offer inspirational talks but also to generate concrete instances of connection: mentoring, one-on-one meetings and networking spaces where entrepreneurs can find partners, investors or clients.
The multi-scenario format and six thematic zones aim to ensure that different profiles of the ecosystem, from early-stage founders to executives of large companies, find content and conversations relevant to their stage.
