Finalist for Apolitical’s Global Public Service Team of the Year 2020

For the third year in a row, Apolitical will be celebrating innovative, groundbreaking teams that get the job done through our Public Service Team of the Year Awards.

Covid-19 has affected every area of the public service; this award is to recognise teams that have quickly responded to Covid-19, through policy innovations or internal team policies.

With my team (Early Investment Division at The Chilean Economic Development Agency) we designed and set up a rapid response programme to produce and scale-up mechanical ventilators made by Chilean entrepreneurs and innovators.

Apolitical is the first global platform for government that helps public servants find the ideas, experts and partners they need to solve the hardest challenges facing our societies.
