*Established in 2006, Synopsys Chile is one of Synopsys; most important Innovation Centers worldwide—and the only one located in Latin America.
** The Federico Santa María Technical University (Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, UTFSM, Universidad Santa María) is a Chilean university member of the Rector's Council, founded in 1931 in Valparaíso, Chile. The UTFSM was the first Chilean university to confer a doctorate in engineering in 1962 and the first higher-education institution in Latin America to confer this degree. The UTFSM has consistently been considered as one of the best engineering universities in Latin America, and appears regularly as a highly ranked university in many of the published world university rankings.
*** The Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AC3E), at Federico Santa María Technical University, is a center of scientific research excellence that creates knowledge, forms advanced human capital, and develops world-class technological innovations that impact industry and people’s quality of life.
The AC3E is composed of a multidisciplinary group of more than 100 people, including researchers, academics, engineers, and undergraduate and graduate students. Its 10 years of outstanding track record position it as a national benchmark in electrical and electronic engineering and one of the leading centers in innovation and technology transfer.
