Universidad Austral de Chile

Universidad Austral de Chile is a comprehensive public research university based in Valdivia, serving southern Chile through campuses and clinical sites in Valdivia, Puerto Montt, Osorno, and Coyhaique. Its multi‑campus footprint gives companies access to co‑located laboratories, experimental farms and field stations, and coastal campuses for applied testing, while proximity to major forestry (Los Ríos) and salmon aquaculture (Puerto Montt/Los Lagos) hubs shortens time‑to‑impact. Clinical translation is supported through a formal collaboration with the regional hospital in Valdivia. Research is backed by Chile’s national research and innovation agencies, including ANID and CORFO. A dedicated Office of Technology Transfer and Licensing and a university‑backed incubator provide IP management, licensing, and startup support.
