Context

Atacama Regional Development Strategy

Since 2024, the Atacama Region has had a Regional Development Strategy looking toward 2034, which is the region’s main planning instrument, aimed at promoting the sustainable, inclusive, and innovative development of the territory.

It is a strategic roadmap for the next ten years that outlines pillars and objectives across the economic, social, environmental, and institutional dimensions, with a territorial, participatory, and multisectoral perspective.

Its design integrates contributions from citizens, the public and private sectors, academia, and social organizations, coordinating common efforts to improve people’s quality of life across all provinces of Atacama.

Under this context, the need arises to modernize technical and higher education, aligning it with market demands and technological advances, with a particular focus on renewable energy, sustainable tourism, and other emerging fields.
