ProChile and BioFlorida Form Strategic Partnership to Boost Chile–Florida Life Sciences

ProChile, the Chilean government agency responsible for promoting the country's exports of goods and services, and BioFlorida, Florida's preeminent life sciences association, are proud to announce the signing of a strategic partnership designed to strengthen international ties and advance mutual opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and growth within the life sciences sector.

Recognizing the global nature of the life sciences industry and the transformative potential of cross-border collaboration, both organizations have established a public-private alliance focused on fostering connections between Chile's emerging life sciences companies and Florida's world-class innovation ecosystem. This agreement creates a platform for knowledge transfer, business development, and strategic networking that will benefit members of both organizations while promoting economic growth in both regions.

"This agreement marks an important step in strengthening collaboration between Chile and Florida's life sciences ecosystems," said Claudia Serrer Urrutia, Trade Commissioner of ProChile in Miami. "By partnering with BioFlorida, we are building a bridge for the exchange of best practices, institutional cooperation, and meaningful connections between our organizations and our companies, placing innovation at the center of this shared agenda. Our goal is to create the foundations that allow Chilean and U.S. companies to learn from one another, explore future opportunities, and contribute to the long-term, sustainable growth of both ecosystems."

"We're excited to partner with ProChile to expand international opportunities for Florida's life sciences community," said Mark Glickman, President and CEO of BioFlorida. "This partnership with ProChile opens new doors for our members to connect with Chile's growing life sciences ecosystem and expands opportunities for knowledge sharing, business development, and strategic collaboration. By building bridges between Florida and Chile, we're strengthening both regions' positions as global leaders in health innovation and creating pathways for companies to access new markets, resources, and partnerships that drive meaningful impact."

The Collaboration Agreement outlines a comprehensive framework for cooperation across multiple areas. ProChile and BioFlorida will facilitate knowledge transfer opportunities by promoting the exchange of best practices between trade associations and industry groups from both Chile and the United States. Chilean companies will gain access to key BioFlorida events, including the organization's Annual Conference, providing critical exposure and integration opportunities within Florida's life sciences ecosystem.
