AmCham celebra esta alianza mutuamente beneficiosa que, solo en intercambio comercial, ha mostrado un crecimiento de m\u00e1s del 300% desde la implementaci\u00f3n del tratado de libre comercio en el 2004.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mientras esperamos con ansias el 2013, que el Gobierno declar\u00f3 ser\u00e1 el A\u00f1o de la Innovaci\u00f3n de Chile, reconocemos que a\u00fan hay muchos desaf\u00edos y oportunidades para las empresas entre los dos pa\u00edses. Nuestra misi\u00f3n en AmCham es identificar, respaldar y promover estas oportunidades al m\u00e1ximo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En diciembre, el directorio de AmCham realiz\u00f3 su retiro anual estrat\u00e9gico para analizar maneras de aprovechar efectivamente estas oportunidades el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o. A fin de lograr este objetivo, la C\u00e1mara ha implementado algunas estructuras clave para promover la innovaci\u00f3n al tiempo que canaliza el potencial de inversi\u00f3n y comercio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Este fue el primer a\u00f1o completo de operaci\u00f3n del Consejo Empresarial Chile- Estados Unidos sobre Energ\u00eda, el que fue creado por AmCham en el 2011 y que ha trabajado para organizar y concentrar esfuerzos destinados a desarrollar una relaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s fuerte entre ambos en esta \u00e1rea. En noviembre, la C\u00e1mara celebr\u00f3 un seminario destinado a abordar las oportunidades en el desarrollo de energ\u00edas limpias que coincidi\u00f3 con la visita a Chile del alcalde de Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa. Los participantes del evento pudieron aprender de la experiencia de Los Angeles en este \u00e1mbito, lo que se analiza en la secci\u00f3n Enfoque de este mes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AmCham adem\u00e1s particip\u00f3 activamente como miembro de los Consejos Chile-Massachusetts y Chile-California. En junio, la C\u00e1mara organiz\u00f3 una misi\u00f3n a Boston, Massachusetts, para llevar a chilenos involucrados en el sector de biotecnolog\u00eda a la convenci\u00f3n BIO International Convention -una de las mayores reuniones a nivel mundial en este campo- con el objetivo de poner de relieve la experiencia t\u00e9cnica de Chile y fomentar nuevas oportunidades de negocios. AmCham adem\u00e1s espera con ansias promover varias iniciativas nuevas en esta \u00e1rea en el 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Para los socios de AmCham, la innovaci\u00f3n -en otras palabras, el proceso de traducir una idea o invento en un bien o servicio que crea valor- es un punto clave de atenci\u00f3n. Esto ha quedado claramente demostrado en el campo de la energ\u00eda limpia y por las iniciativas para a\u00f1adir valor a los recursos naturales de Chile tales como el proyecto de Golden Omega para producir concentrados de Omega 3 a partir de pescados (lea la secci\u00f3n Negocios de la edici\u00f3n de este mes).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Asimismo AmCham est\u00e1 consciente de la importancia de la innovaci\u00f3n que es tanto respetuosa con el medio ambiente como socialmente responsable. En noviembre, la C\u00e1mara colabor\u00f3 con el evento Common Pitch, competencia de emprendimiento celebrada este a\u00f1o por primera vez en Chile. El ex vicepresidente de Estados Unidos y Premio Nobel, Al Gore, realiz\u00f3 una ponencia en el evento sobre la importancia de la innovaci\u00f3n sustentable en t\u00e9rminos ambientales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sin embargo, la innovaci\u00f3n no se limita al sector privado. Tal como se aborda en el Reportaje Principal de la edici\u00f3n de este mes, \u201cUn Mejor Estado para Chile\u201d, la gesti\u00f3n p\u00fablica eficiente es clave para que Chile mejore su competitividad. En los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, Chile ha logrado mejoras significativas en esta \u00e1rea que han reducido los costos de transacci\u00f3n para las empresas, no obstante, persisten desaf\u00edos importantes en otras \u00e1reas de la administraci\u00f3n p\u00fablica, lo que incluye la descentralizaci\u00f3n y la reforma de las instituciones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">En los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, Chile ha hecho que sea mucho m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido y m\u00e1s barato para los emprendedores iniciar un nuevo negocio, pero tambi\u00e9n necesita hacer que sea m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil para ellos fracasar y volver a ponerse de pie. Es por esto que los planes de Chile para modernizar su ley de quiebras, analizados en la secci\u00f3n Reportaje Secundario de la edici\u00f3n de este mes, son tan importantes para la futura innovaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A fin de cuentas, la innovaci\u00f3n requiere un sector privado din\u00e1mico, pero tambi\u00e9n un Estado m\u00e1s eficiente. En ambas \u00e1reas, Chile est\u00e1 avanzando y todos los indicadores apuntan a otro a\u00f1o de exitosa innovaci\u00f3n en el 2013. AmCham espera con ansias apoyar a sus socios en este desaf\u00edo, al tiempo que ayuda a desarrollar m\u00e1s y mejores oportunidades de comercio e inversi\u00f3n entre Chile y Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><!--:en--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As 2012 comes to a close, we look back on another successful year for Chile with projected growth of just over 5%, according to economists surveyed recently by the Central Bank, and with near full employment \u2014 a notable achievement given the complexity of current global economic challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Foreign investment and trade are at record levels including an ever richer and more dynamic relationship between Chile and the United States. AmCham celebrates this mutually beneficial partnership that, in trade alone, has shown growth of over 300% since the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement in 2004.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we look forward to 2013, declared by the government to be Chile\u2019s Year of Innovation, we recognize that there are still many challenges and opportunities for business between the two countries. Our mission in AmCham is to identify, support and promote these opportunities to their fullest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In December, AmCham\u2019s board of directors held its annual strategic retreat to discuss ways to effectively take advantage of these opportunities in the coming year. To achieve this aim, the Chamber has put in place some key structures to promote innovation while channeling trade and investment potential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was the first full year of operation of the US-Chile Energy Business Council, created by AmCham in 2011, which has worked to organize and focus efforts to develop a stronger relationship between the two countries in this area. In November, the Chamber held a seminar to discuss opportunities in clean energy development that coincided with the visit to Chile of the Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa. The participants were able to learn from the experience of Los Angeles in this area, as discussed in this month\u2019s Spotlight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AmCham has also participated actively as a member of the Chile-Massachusetts and Chile-California Councils. In June, the Chamber organized a mission to Boston, Massachusetts, to bring Chileans involved in biotechnology to the BIO International Convention \u2014 one of the world\u2019s largest gatherings in this field \u2014 with the goal of highlighting Chile\u2019s expertise and fomenting new business opportunities. AmCham also looks forward to promoting several new initiatives in this area in 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For AmCham\u2019s members, innovation \u2014 in other words, the process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value \u2014 is a key focus. This has been clearly demonstrated in the clean energy field and by efforts to add value to Chile\u2019s natural resources such as Golden Omega\u2019s project to produce Omega 3 concentrates from fish (see this month\u2019s Trade Testimonial).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AmCham is also aware of the importance of innovation that is both environmentally and socially responsible. In November, the Chamber supported the Common Pitch event \u2014 an entrepreneurship competition held for the first time this year in Chile. Former US vice-president and Nobel Prize winner, Al Gore, spoke at the event about the importance of environmentally sustainable innovation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But innovation is not limited to the private sector. As discussed in this month\u2019s Cover Story, \u201cA Better State for Chile\u201d, efficient public management is key for Chile to improve its competitiveness. In recent years Chile has made significant improvements in this area that have reduced transaction costs for businesses, but important challenges remain in other areas of public governance including decentralization and institutional reform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent years, Chile has made it much quicker and cheaper for entrepreneurs to start a new business but it also needs to make it easier for them to fail and get back on their feet. This is why Chile\u2019s plans to modernize its bankruptcy law, discussed in this month\u2019s Secondary Story, are so important for future innovation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ultimately, innovation requires a dynamic private sector but also a more efficient State. In both areas Chile is making progress and all indicators point to another year of successful innovation in 2013. AmCham looks forward to supporting its members in this challenge, while helping to develop more and better trade and investment opportunities between Chile and the United States.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A medida que el 2012 se acerca a su fin, miramos en retrospectiva otro exitoso a\u00f1o para Chile con un crecimiento proyectado de poco m\u00e1s del 5%, seg\u00fan economistas encuestados recientemente por el Banco Central, y cercano al pleno empleo, un logro notable dada la complejidad de los actuales desaf\u00edos econ\u00f3micos globales.<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><!--:en--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As 2012 comes to a close, we look back on another successful year for Chile with projected growth of just over 5%, according to economists surveyed recently by the Central Bank, and with near full employment \u2014 a notable achievement given the complexity of current global economic challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","news_tax":[],"user_type":[],"class_list":["post-4945","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
