Descriptiontext

Premio Nacional de Innovación Avonni is Chile's most prestigious honorary national innovation award, founded in 2007 and organized by Fundación ForoInnovación in co-organization with the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation, El Mercurio, and Televisión Nacional de Chile (TVN). The program runs an annual multi-stage competition: applications open from March to July, an expert committee evaluates submissions July-August, a jury selects finalists in August, and winners are announced at a televised ceremony held at TVN in November. It recognizes innovation across 12 sponsored categories — including energy (Colbún), mining (Antofagasta Minerals), agriculture (FIA), digital services (Entel), education (Fundación Chile), culture (Fundación Ibáñez Atkinson), public innovation (BID), and health (Cámara de Innovación Farmacéutica) — plus 5 regional recognitions and 3 special recognitions. To date, Avonni has recognized 289 winners and received over 7,000 cumulative applications, supported by a network of more than 100 expert evaluators and a community of 195+ recognized innovators.

The core platform is a web-based application and nomination system hosted at avonni.vform.io, paired with an informative marketing website (avonni.cl) and social media channels. As a non-profit recognition program, Avonni does not generate commercial revenue: submissions are free, and operations are funded through corporate category sponsorships and government co-organizers. The organization has 5 employees, is headquartered in Las Condes (Santiago), and operates under the Fundación ForoInnovación parent entity. Recent strategic activity includes the 2025 launch of the Desafío Futuro Copec Avonni program targeting higher education students, the addition of new categories such as Vivienda y Ciudad del Futuro (2024), and international expansion via Avonni Perú. The program has no direct AI/ML capabilities, and its competitive moat is built on brand prestige, media co-organizer distribution, and a tightly integrated evaluator and alumni ecosystem.
