Chile is one of the world leaders in the aquaculture industry, positioning itself among the main producers of species such as Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, which are highly demanded in international markets. However, for the industry to be able to guarantee productivity and competitiveness at a global level, it must meet high standards of health and breeding of salmonids. It is therefore essential to prevent and treat viral infections that affect the health of the fish, which jeopardize the stability and quality of production.

In order to identify new opportunities for joint work in research and development (R&D) projects, the Directorate of Technological Management (DGT) of the Vice Rector's Office for Research, Innovation and Creation (Vriic) organized a meeting that brought together researchers from the University of Santiago de Chile and executives from the technology company CoreDevX.
