This is a distance learning program developed in conjunction with the Independízate Foundation, which resulted in the certification of 44 startups from across the country. Of these, 20% will add their products to the company's supermarkets from Arica to Punta Arenas. For five months, the selected SMEs participated in intensive training led by the MBA UC Mentor network. Together with executives from Walmart Chile's commercial area, they trained and selected the applicants at the various stages of the process. Each startup received a total of 51 hours of advice, through eight classes, six discussions, and nine mentoring sessions. The objective was to strengthen the value proposition of these businesses so that they can become suppliers to Walmart Chile in the future and thus sell their products in more than 350 stores nationwide.
