This component seeks innovative solutions that respond to specific needs, promoting equitable and sustainable development.

This mode includes working on challenges such as the treatment of domestic solid waste, promoting associative tourism, efficiency in water use, enhancing collaborative work, improving technological adoption, contributing to economic development and promoting an innovation culture.

2. Region 4.0 Territorial Innovation: Focused on startups and projects with a high innovative or technological component to develop proposals that respond effectively to the challenges of the territory. A unique opportunity for technological entrepreneurs to demonstrate their ability to create disruptive solutions that improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the region. 

3. Region 4.0 Innovation and Industries: This category is designed for science-technology-based startups and start-ups, as well as strategic investment initiatives. Its purpose is to encourage the creation and growth of companies that can contribute significantly to the economic and technological development of the region of Los Lagos, through the analysis of patents, commercial presentations, valorization of companies, pre-feasibility of businesses and the connection for the growth of companies.
