- The initiative, driven by WOM Empresas within the framework of its alliance with Emprende Tu Mente, will provide a free stand, access to mentoring, and networking opportunities. Applications close on September 25.
Santiago, August 2026.- WOM Empresas announced the launch of a contest to take ten entrepreneurial ventures to the next edition of EtM Day 2026, which will take place between November 19 and 21 at Bicentenario Park. The winners will be able to showcase their products or services, connect with potential clients and partners, and participate in one of the country’s main business events.
The initiative is part of the alliance that Emprende Tu Mente and WOM have maintained since 2023. Its purpose is to contribute to “connecting unlikely peers” and open new opportunities for entrepreneurs from all over Chile to scale their businesses, reaffirming the company’s commitment to those who drive the country’s development through innovation.
In addition to having a free stand for their brand, the ten selected ventures will have access to networking sessions, mentoring, learning spaces alongside industry experts, and opportunities to pitch their projects to investors from the corporate world, thus connecting with a wide network of contacts to grow their companies.
“Innovation makes the impossible possible, such as getting the entire Bicentenario Park at EtMday to rally around a single purpose: fostering the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, listening to each other, and making real connections that translate into concrete results for those seeking to transform the landscape through collaborative work,” said Daniel Daccarett, co-founder of Emprende Tu Mente.
“In Chile, entrepreneurship is an important source of growth, employment, and development, but for a good idea to move forward, it also needs networks, visibility, and concrete opportunities. At WOM Empresas, we believe that supporting this process generates value for the entire ecosystem. That is why we are promoting this call for applications: so that businesses and ventures that are already up and running can showcase what they do, connect with new people, and pave the way to continue growing,” stated Verónica Peña y Lillo, B2B Marketing Manager at WOM Chile.
Applications will be open until September 25 through the website https://www.wom.cl/empresas/etmday/, where the contest rules and detailed information about the prize are available. The call is aimed at WOM Empresas clients, who only need to describe their business in order to apply.
Nelson Ulloa, CEO & Co-Founder of REM Circular, a venture that participated in the previous edition through the WOM Empresas contest, commented: “We use AI to identify and assess the value of construction waste with just one photograph. Therefore, the visibility we had at last year’s EtM Day allowed us to showcase our innovation. It is a level of support that still benefits us today.”
In its previous edition, EtM Day gathered more than 56,000 attendees over three days focused on networking, business conversations, and meeting spaces for companies, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem players. The event featured the participation of national and international speakers and held personalized mentoring sessions, reaffirming that connectivity goes beyond technology: it brings people, businesses, and territories closer together to open up new development opportunities.
