Capital Abeja Emprende
Funds Chilean women launching new formalized businesses through seed grants and business development support.
Capital Abeja Emprende is a women-exclusive seed grant programme administered by SERCOTEC (Servicio de Cooperación Técnica) in Chile, designed to help women formalise and launch a business for the first time across any economic sector. The programme provides CLP 3,500,000 per beneficiary, structured as a business management component of CLP 200,000 to CLP 500,000 and an investment component for productive assets, infrastructure, or working capital of CLP 3,000,000 to CLP 3,300,000. Applicants must be female (sexo registral femenino) and at least 18 years old, and must not have any prior primera categoría tax registration with Chile's Servicio de Impuestos Internos (SII) — previous business ownership is a hard disqualifier. Beneficiaries contribute a co-payment percentage defined in the relevant regional convocation bases plus applicable taxes on top of the SERCOTEC subsidy. The programme follows an annual cycle; no specific 2026 convocation dates were captured in available source material, and applicants should monitor SERCOTEC's regional programme pages for call windows as they are announced. Applications are submitted through SERCOTEC's online portal, with support available through regional offices and Centros de Desarrollo de Negocios. The programme is sector-agnostic, welcoming projects across agriculture, services, commerce, manufacturing, and other economic activities.
Seed grant of CLP 3,500,000 for women in Chile launching a new formalized business for the first time, covering assets, working capital, and management costs, in any economic sector.
