The smarter E expands its presence in Latin America with the launch of The smarter E Summit Chile. This new global platform aims to drive Chile's energy transition and foster collaboration among the energy, mining, and industrial sectors.
The first edition will take place on June 30 and July 1, 2027, in Antofagasta. It will bring together project developers, technology providers, investors, electric utility companies, government officials, mining companies, and large industrial energy consumers.
As one of Latin America's leading clean energy markets, Chile is experiencing rapid growth in renewable energy, battery storage, grid infrastructure, and green hydrogen. The smarter E Summit Chile will offer a specialized forum to analyze market trends, explore business opportunities, and accelerate projects across the entire energy value chain.
A central theme of the congress and fair will be the relationship between renewable generation, energy storage, grid expansion, green hydrogen and mining.
As Chile's main mining hub, Antofagasta offers direct access to end users with high energy demands and active decarbonization agendas. Large mining companies are increasingly investing in renewable electricity supply contracts, fleet electrification, green fuels, and low-carbon industrial processes, creating significant opportunities for energy solution providers and technology innovators.
Green hydrogen will also be part of the program. Dedicated sessions are planned under the Hydrogen Dialogue Latin America brand, bringing together hydrogen developers, technology providers, industrial buyers, investors, and government officials.
Antofagasta was chosen because of the region's unique position at the heart of Chile's energy transition. Located at the edge of the Atacama Desert, it combines some of the highest levels of solar radiation in the world with a strong concentration of large-scale renewable energy projects, a rapid rollout of battery storage, major green hydrogen initiatives, and some of the country's most important mining operations.
