With former minister Vivianne Blanlot at the helm of the international congress, the country’s main clean energy meeting will bring together key figures from the public and business sectors to discuss competitiveness, geopolitics and investments, alongside a packed agenda of industrial agreements and youth innovation.
The debate on the consolidation of green hydrogen and clean energy in Chile is just around the corner. From September 1st to 3rd, the Metropolitan Santiago Convention Center will open its doors for a new edition of Hyvolution Chile, an event that will bring together key players in the global clean energy ecosystem for a comprehensive international congress and a series of parallel activities aimed at transforming climate and industrial commitments into concrete projects.
Under the presidency of Vivianne Blanlot, former minister and current corporate director, the International Congress will feature an intensive three-day agenda focused on energy security, regulatory frameworks, commercial-scale financing, and geopolitics. The event seeks to directly address the barriers and opportunities facing the industry, convening high-level panels where experience in public policy and corporate vision intertwine to respond to the country’s competitiveness challenges.
In this context, the participation of renowned figures from the public and private sectors underscores the cross-cutting nature of the event. The participation of former Interior Minister Gonzalo Blumel in the opening panel, titled “Energy Security and Competitiveness: Progress of Clean Energy Projects and Initiatives in Chile and Globally,” is a highlight, where he will offer his perspective on the deployment of ongoing initiatives. Meanwhile, former Minister of Public Works and current Codelco Director Eduardo Bitrán will participate in the panel “Geopolitics of the Energy Transition: Security, Power, and New Global Balances,” an event focused on analyzing international tensions, the demand for new fuels, and Chile’s strategic role in the new global energy landscape.
The technical and political discussions will be complemented by a vibrant program of parallel events that will enliven the exhibition areas and the Agora space of the venue. This year, collaboration agreements between companies and trade associations to promote zero-emission logistics and clean transport fleets take center stage, along with the progress of public-private partnerships supported by entities such as Corfo and the European Union. In addition, delegations from the Netherlands and Germany will share their international experience in port infrastructure and green maritime corridors, essential for the future export of derivatives such as e-methanol and green ammonia.
Human capital development and inclusion will also be a key focus of the program. The Women in Green Hydrogen network will lead dialogue and networking sessions designed to highlight and promote female leadership in the technology and energy sectors. Meanwhile, the next generation will test their technical skills and ingenuity in the H2 Grand Prix final, a school competition organized in conjunction with the Sofofa Educational Corporation. Students design and test scale models of hydrogen-powered vehicles, demonstrating that the energy transition is a reality under construction, combining applied innovation, young talent, and a long-term vision.
