Inria is the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology. Since 2024, it has been responsible for the Agence de programmes dans le numérique (Digital Programs Agency), designed to strengthen the collective dynamics of higher education and research. Inria has its only Centre outside of France, Inria Chile, since 2012.
World-class research, technological innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit are in Inria’s DNA. Across 300 projects, most of them in collaboration with leading research universities, more than 3,800 scientists explore new avenues, often interdisciplinarily and in collaboration with industry partners, to address ambitious challenges. As a technology institute, Inria supports a diverse range of innovation paths, from publishing open-source software to creating deeptech startups.
Inria Chile, Inria's only center established outside of France, has been operating successfully in the country since 2012 and has had the sustained support of the French government through Inria, and of the Chilean government through Corfo and later the Chilean Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation.
Today, Inria Chile is a driving force for cutting-edge research, technological innovation, and knowledge transfer, collaborating with universities, companies, startups, and public and international institutions to meet the challenges of the digital revolution.
