Sercotec has implemented various funding initiatives across different Chilean regions to support cooperatives and small businesses.

In the Valparaíso region, a $150 million fund was allocated to install solar panels for five rural water cooperatives, benefiting approximately 17,000 residents. Simultaneously, in the Antofagasta region, a program was launched to provide financing for entrepreneurs and small enterprises to support infrastructure and working capital.

Following these developments, the Reactívate program was introduced in the Aysén Region. This initiative offers non-reimbursable subsidies to help micro and small enterprises, cooperatives, and local commercial neighborhoods improve management and competitiveness. While the program was welcomed, local officials noted the importance of timely fund delivery to ensure effective economic support.
