Managed by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (formerly Business Innovation and Skills), the Newton Fund is part of the UK government’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) to emerging economies and developing countries around the world. The Fund has been established to develop long term sustainable growth and welfare of 16 partner countries (including Chile), through strengthening their science and innovation partnerships with the UK. By working together on joint programmes with a research and innovation focus, the UK will deliver development objectives and at the same time build strong, sustainable, systemic relationships with partner countries that also bring benefits back to the UK. As part of this Fund, Innovate UK is collaborating with the Foundation for Agricultural Innovation, Chile (FIA) to build innovation capacity amongst the next generation of entrepreneurs in the agri-food and forestry sectors in Chile. Under this contract, Innovate UK and FIA invite bids from suitable agencies to design and deliver a capacity building and mentoring programme to be run during October-December 2016 in Chile and the UK for a group of young Chilean entrepreneurs in the agri-food and forestry sectors, who we are calling “Young Innovators”. These entrepreneurs will typically be between 18-30 years old. The overall and specific objectives of this Young Innovators capacity building programme, and the outcomes it expects to achieve, are as follows: To support the development of innovative entrepreneurship in young leaders in response to requirements and opportunities of the Chilean agri-food and forestry sectors. ### Specific Objectives • Build a group of young innovators’ capacity to formulate business plans and innovative projects, related to agri-food and forestry. • Support a smaller group of young innovators to implement projects as part of their business plans. • Promote the creation of cooperation and collaboration networks between young Chileans and research and innovation institutions in both Chile and the UK. • Support a new generation of technologies in product development, services or product improvements in the Chilean agri-food and forestry sectors.
