Edutecno

What Edutecno does

Edutecno is a Chilean corporate training provider (OTEC — Organismo Técnico de Capacitación) founded in 1997 and headquartered in Santiago. It designs and delivers continuing-education and corporate upskilling programs to enterprise clients across at least seven Latin American countries, with selected exports to Europe. Named enterprise customers in the available data include Finis Terrae, Finning, Tattersall, and FLSmidth, and the company also operates bootcamp-style programs (E-Camp) in Full Stack and Front End development for individual learners. Custom programs are built through its La Factoría Edutecno unit.

The product stack combines traditional instructor-led OTEC training with technology-enabled layers: Sophia, an in-house AI content generation engine with more than three years of development; Wilox, a software factory acquired and expanded into Brazil in 2021; the EduCampus LMS platform; and VR/AR-enabled curricula, including the E-Camp Metaverso track launched in March 2022. The business is privately held (Linares Y Compañía Limitada) and remains family-controlled, with Carlos Linares as Director General and Vitalia Linares as General Manager.

Revenue is generated through enterprise training contracts (tax-credit-eligible under Chile's SENCE Franquicia Tributaria mechanism), bootcamp tuition, custom content development, the Wilox software factory channel in Brazil, and export contracts. Long-term anchor clients in mining and industrial verticals, combined with SENCE-franchise leverage, point to a B2B-heavy revenue mix with multi-year contract characteristics rather than transactional course sales.
