InvestChile Publishes E-Book on New Fintech Law in Chile
SANTIAGO, Chile, January 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - From this year, Chile has had a new law to regulate and promote the Fintech industry. And so that the information is readily and quickly available to foreign investors, InvestChile has published its new e-book "Fintech Law: Keys to the new regulations for the sector in Chile."
The guide has been prepared by the South American country's Foreign Investment Promotion Agency. It contains an overview of the industry and its main stakeholders, both in Chile and in the region, as well as the objectives, definitions and principles of the new law, and much more.
The new law aims to update the local financial regulations, considering the progress made, as well as new technological stakeholders, alternative transaction systems, intermediation and credit consultancies, and specification of the rules of open finance.
The expectation is that this will help the growth of the Fintech industry in Chile by providing greater clarity on the rules and regulations that govern the sector. It is also hoped that the country will consolidate its position as a leading hub for Fintech innovation in Latin America, and that it can attract more investors.
In 2021, there were more than 150 companies from the sector in Chile, with almost 50% of them expanding their operations internationally, mainly to Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina.

Plantd Secures $10M in Series A Funding to Commercialize Carbon Negative Building Materials
DURHAM, N.C., January 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Revolutionary sustainable building materials company Plantd is making waves in the construction industry with the announcement of its $10 million Series A funding round. Led by American Family Ventures, the funding solidifies Plantd's position as a pioneer in carbon-negative building materials.
"We are thrilled to back this exceptional and visionary team," said Kyle Beatty, Managing Director at American Family Ventures. "Plantd is creating fundamentally better construction materials that are cost-effective and truly carbon negative. We have been impressed by how they have reinvented every step of the production process from first principles, all the way from input material to logistics."
Plantd's production team is led by co-founders and engineers Huade Tan and Nathan Silvernail, who worked together for years at SpaceX designing and building key systems and components of the Dragon cargo and crew spacecraft. Together with co-founder and CEO Josh Dorfman, a serial entrepreneur and longtime sustainability leader, Plantd is redefining the value chain for engineered building materials.
Plantd's proprietary low carbon-emissions production technology transforms fast-growing perennial grass into durable, carbon-negative building materials that outperform competitive products on key attributes, including strength and moisture resistance.
Starting with structural panel products for walls and roofs, Plantd will fabricate building materials that are a direct substitute for traditional home construction products and require no alternative installation techniques. By cultivating fast-growing perennial grass instead of cutting down trees and pioneering novel production technology to minimize carbon emissions, Plantd Structural Panels™ retain 80% of the atmospheric carbon dioxide captured in the field, which is then locked away inside the walls and roofs of new homes.
"We can't move quickly enough to solve climate change unless we develop profitable methods to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere," said Dorfman. "We're going to change an industry by offering builders a better product at the same price and, in the process, scale a business that can help save the planet."
Building with Plantd materials enables home builders to offer their customers homes that are affordable, durable, and sustainable. And by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide within structural frames, homes built with Plantd materials will play a key role in solving climate change.
Plantd will use this round of funding to establish their agriculture supply chain and build the first-of-its-kind, modular automated continuous press for engineered building materials. The company is currently working with the nation's largest builders and architects to integrate these materials into their projects and quickly make them a standard in the industry.
Plantd's ultimate vision is to build the factory of the future, ensuring that new homes and buildings contribute to reversing the effects of climate change.
