Notable visits and new additions at AthenaLab

AthenaLab had an intense week of activities, starting with the meeting of the renewed Advisory Council, which focused on reviewing 2022 and understanding the work guidelines for the first semester of 2023. The meeting was attended by Francisco Orrego, Admiral (ret.) Julio Leiva, José Rodríguez Elizondo, and the new members of the Council: Vivianne Blanlot, David Gallagher and Carolina Valdivia, to whom we extend a warm welcome. All have distinguished careers in the fields of diplomacy and defense that will be very beneficial to AthenaLab.

We also welcomed Andrej Heinke, Vice President of Corporate Foresight at the German company Bosch, with whom we discussed technology and resources from a geopolitical perspective.

To conclude, we held an interesting conversation about the Russia-Ukraine war and its global projections, taking advantage of the visit to Chile by Neil Melvin, Director of International Studies at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). For this event, we had the presence of several defense attachés from American, European, and Asian countries based in Chile.
