The emergence and the development of the Chilean salmon industry demonstrate the important role of technology transfer in industrial development. Technology transfer has enabled Chile to build a globally competitive and innovative salmon industry over the last two decades. The industry has become one of Chile’s main export sectors and a significant contributor to regional development. Today, Chile is the second largest salmon producer in the world and develops technology for the production of other fish species.
The successful development of the industry highlights Chile’s approach to industrial and economic development. Chile promotes scientific and technological innovation that adds value to or generates industries based on its natural resource endowment. In this case, the long coastline, abundant freshwater sources and islands, and good climatic conditions are part of its natural endowments, which, with the appropriate technologies, have played a vital role in the development of the salmon industry.
