Focused Research Action

The research and initiatives of UC Davis Chile focus on the agricultural industry, a leading priority for Chile and a strength of UC Davis. The UC Davis Chile Life Sciences Innovation Center focuses on four areas: Bioproducts, Smart Agro, Genomic and Genetic Technologies, and Viticulture and Enology to develop applied science and offer technological services to the agriculture sector. Similarities in climate and geography between Chile and California—and varying harvest timing—have spurred mutually-beneficial developments in the agricultural and food sectors, including reciprocal opportunities for trade.
