WU Alumni Hub Santiago de Chile: Founding meeting

On January 18, 2024, the newly founded WU Alumni Hub held its first meeting in Santiago de Chile. The Chilean alumnus and new hub manager, Cristian Garate, had been involved in the community building of the first hub in South American Chile in the months before.

The founding meeting took place in the residence of the Austrian Ambassador, Stephan Vavrik, himself also a WU alumnus, in Santiago de Chile. After a short opening speech, the alumni were able to learn about aspects of economic and political relations between Chile and Austria as well as some of the activities of Austrian companies in the country. The meeting ended with a cocktail reception and jazz music while networking.
