That is why we celebrate that our founder has been selected among 29 women entrepreneurs to participate in Fueling the Change, a Chilean program that accelerates projects led by women in the clean technologies and circular economy sectors. The CEO of SoftPower was selected with Envirobiotics, her personal venture (independent of SoftPower), which develops the first organic disinfectant without chemicals on the market. This solution, awarded in 2022 in the United States as the best children’s immunizer, represents a paradigm shift in air purification: instead of eliminating all microorganisms with harsh chemicals, it restores natural biological balance using beneficial microorganisms. Women’s participation in the clean tech industry: a visible gap According to the report «Renewable Energy: A Gender Perspective» by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA, 2023), women make up only 32% of the workforce in renewable energy. In emerging sectors such as green hydrogen, female participation drops to just 14%. The gap widens in the entrepreneurial ecosystem: according to Cleantech Group (2022), only 11% of clean tech startups have at least one female founder. In contrast, countries like Canada report 28.6% female employment in the clean tech sector (Natural Resources Canada). Infographic: Women’s participation in clean technologies Chile: progress and challenges In Chile, according to data from the Ministry of Energy (2018), women held only 23% of jobs in the energy sector. However, initiatives have been implemented to reverse this situation, such as the Energía + Mujer program and Start-Up Chile’s calls, which require 50% female participation in their pre-acceleration phase. The selection of 29 women in Fueling the Change not only brings visibility but also shows that there is a critical mass of innovative women ready to lead solutions for the planet from Latin America. “Being part of this program is not just recognition. It is an opportunity to learn, connect, and accelerate from the Global South a new way of doing business: more conscious, cleaner, more balanced. And with more women at the table.” About Envirobiotics Envirobiotics is a biotechnological solution that cleans and purifies enclosed environments using beneficial bacteria instead of chemicals. It is safe for children, pets, and people with respiratory sensitivities. Its model is based on the principle of ecological balance and has proven to be highly effective in spaces such as schools, clinics, homes, and offices. This technology, developed with scientific backing, aligns with the principles of the circular economy and bioinnovation, setting a new standard for the future of environmental cleaning.

What We Learned with Ori Shachar: A Tour to Talk Seriously About AI

[et_pb_section fb_built=»1″ _builder_version=»4.27.4″ _module_preset=»default» global_colors_info=»{}» theme_builder_area=»post_content»][et_pb_row _builder_version=»4.27.4″ _module_preset=»default» custom_margin=»|auto||108px||» hover_enabled=»0″ global_colors_info=»{}» theme_builder_area=»post_content» module_alignment=»center» sticky_enabled=»0″][et_pb_column type=»4_4″ _builder_version=»4.27.3″ _module_preset=»default» global_colors_info=»{}» theme_builder_area=»post_content»][et_pb_text _builder_version=»4.27.4″ _module_preset=»default» custom_padding=»0px|||||» hover_enabled=»0″ global_colors_info=»{}» theme_builder_area=»post_content» sticky_enabled=»0″] What We Learned with Ori Shachar: A Tour to Talk Seriously About AI In May 2025, we organized the first tour of Peru and Chile for Ori Shachar, an Israeli expert in artificial intelligence applied to business. With over 20 years of experience, he has led developments at companies like Mobileye, participated in Tesla’s Autopilot, and contributed to the AI revolution in healthcare, agriculture, and financial services. He is currently the CEO of Autom8Labs. Ori Shachar doesn’t just talk about the future; he builds it. So, more than a series of talks and conferences, this was an invitation to think with perspective, purpose, and without fear of what’s next. For nearly two intense weeks, we traveled through Lima and Santiago, sparking key conversations about artificial intelligence and its impact on business and society. We met with opinion leaders, managers, academics, entrepreneurs, business owners, technical teams, and postgraduate students—all interested in understanding how to implement AI effectively, ethically, and strategically. In Lima, we exchanged ideas with the Credicorp team, professionals from the Flint Abogados law firm, and representatives from professional organizations like the Peruvian College of Engineers and the Lima Chamber of Commerce. It was at the latter that Ori Shachar delivered his conference, «AI in your company – How to implement it well starting today!», prompting deep reflections on technological adoption and leadership. The tour continued in Santiago, where we visited the FEN at the University of Chile and the Pontificia Universidad Católica, engaging with their master’s students. We were welcomed by CORFO, with whom we discussed development, technology, and the urgent challenge of moving towards a more competitive, sustainable Chile, prepared to lead this new era. We also held meetings with AmCham Chile, Cuprum, Mutual de Seguridad, and JBIZ, a community that brings together young entrepreneurs. What Did This Tour Leave Us With? That AI is not just a technical matter, but a deeply human one. That adopting technology without strategy or ethics doesn’t transform; it only complicates. That failing is part of the journey, and sharing those mistakes also teaches. That human talent remains at the center, even as the context changes. And that Latin America has a lot to say—and do—in this global conversation. From Softpower, we thank every institution that opened its doors and everyone who sat down to listen, ask questions, and challenge ideas. Because what we need today are real spaces to think seriously, and together, about the future we want to build for our organizations and communities.

Chilean entrepreneurs interested in exploring real opportunities in one of Latin America’s most dynamic markets participated. We extend our gratitude to each of them: Katherine Meneses and Gaspar Mondaca from Alianza Creativa Comunicaciones, Marcela Ruiz from Acustica Marina, and Luis Utreras from Transportes ICT, for trusting Softpower Connections to accompany them on this challenge. During two and a half intense (and very productive) days, we visited institutions including Credicorp, PROMPERÚ, the Lima Chamber of Commerce, the Peruvian College of Engineers, Flint Abogados, and the Embassy of Chile. With them, we shared strategic and highly productive conversations about the country’s economic development, the political landscape, regulatory frameworks, and the potential for integration with Asia-Pacific through the future Port of Chancay. One of the mission’s highlights was the active participation of Ori Shachar, an international expert in applied artificial intelligence and CEO of Autom8Labs. He accompanied the delegation on every visit and concluded his time in Peru with a conference at the Lima Chamber of Commerce: 🎤 «AI in your company – How to implement it well starting today!» In addition to learning and networking, there was also time for relaxed conversation, camaraderie, and building lasting relationships between companies, institutions, and professionals from both countries. 💬 As we often say at Softpower: A mission isn’t just a trip; it’s a strategic experience that opens real doors. What’s Next? We’ve already opened registrations for our next international mission: INFRACON PERÚ 2025 – Cusco, August 21-23.
