Chile Global: A talent network for innovation

Migrants have played an important role in the acceleration of technological change, business development and investment in many countries. Emerging in different ways and for diverse reasons, they have constituted diaspora networks in nation-states such as India, Taiwan Province of China, Ireland, Israel and China, among others. Their impact in most cases has resulted in a technological push, which in turn has helped further the development of their countries. At times when their nations were considered vulnerable, some of these highly skilled migrants have turned out to be pioneer investors as well as facilitators of foreign investment attraction. Additionally, they have constituted bridges between resident and home countries for market connections, technological transfer, coaching of local business and internationalization of local firms.
