As one of the most anticipated events on the global calendar for regional integration and economic diplomacy, the EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025 , scheduled from 19th to 21st August 2025 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Nairobi, Kenya , will serve as a dynamic platform for showcasing innovative solutions from the EAC Markets – With over 2,000 delegates, 6,000 expo visitors , 400 exhibiting companies , expected to participate, the summit will spotlight technologies and partnerships that foster inclusive growth, climate action, and resource efficiency—values that resonate deeply with ChucaoTech’s mission and vision.
A Visionary Alliance for Environmental and Economic Transformation
The partnership between the EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025 and ChucaoTech marks a significant milestone in the journey toward sustainable development in East Africa. It reflects a shared understanding of the urgent need to address environmental degradation, enhance agricultural productivity, and promote responsible industrial practices through innovative technological interventions.
At the heart of this alliance lies ChucaoTech’s proprietary nanobubble oxygenation technology , which has already demonstrated remarkable efficacy in aquaculture, agriculture, and mining. By leveraging this advanced solution, the EAC region can significantly improve water quality, soil health, and overall ecosystem resilience—key components of a sustainable future.
ChucaoTech: A Pioneering Force in Clean Technology Innovation
Founded in 2018 by Tomas Bravo Hepp and Jose Pablo Puga , ChucaoTech has rapidly emerged as a leader in the global cleantech landscape. Headquartered in Llanquihue, Chile , the company has built a strong foundation rooted in engineering excellence and environmental stewardship. Its multidisciplinary team combines expertise in engineering, biology, and environmental science to develop scalable and sustainable technological interventions.
ChucaoTech’s core innovation lies in its proprietary nanobubble technology , which offers a more consistent and robust alternative to conventional oxygenation systems. This technology is particularly vital in sectors where maintaining optimal oxygen levels is critical, such as aquaculture , where it ensures fish health and production yields even under stress or high demand. In the context of climate change and increasing coastal hypoxia, ChucaoTech’s solutions provide a forward-looking approach to managing ecological risks effectively.
Beyond aquaculture, ChucaoTech extends its impact into agriculture and mining . In agriculture, its innovations help rehabilitate degraded soils affected by compaction, salinity, or overuse, thereby enhancing nutrient uptake and water retention. This not only boosts crop productivity but also reduces water consumption and fertilizer use, making it an ideal solution for regions facing resource scarcity.
In the mining industry, where water management and environmental compliance are increasingly critical, ChucaoTech’s technology offers a pathway to more sustainable practices by improving process efficiencies and reducing ecological footprints. Additionally, the company provides enriched drinking water for poultry, leading to healthier and larger chicks, and offers solutions to reduce methane emissions in rice cultivation while sequestering carbon and nitrogen.
What sets ChucaoTech apart is its unparalleled commitment to sustainability and social impact . The company holds a unique position in the Chilean market as the sole firm with a patent for nanobubble injection technology, giving it a competitive edge in delivering maximum efficacy in oxygen transfer and other applications such as water remediation and soil regeneration.
ChucaoTech’s broader implications extend far beyond commercial applications. As a clean-tech innovator, the company plays a vital role in advancing the global transition toward more sustainable resource management. Whether it is revitalizing polluted water bodies, restoring agricultural lands, or optimizing energy use in industrial processes, ChucaoTech’s technologies contribute meaningfully to environmental conservation efforts worldwide.
Strategic Alignment with EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025
The EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025 is a flagship event designed to unlock the vast potential of East Africa’s markets and foster global business collaborations. Under the theme “Unlocking East Africa Community Markets to Global Business Avenues through Enhanced Trade Collaboration,” the summit will bring together key stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and civil society to explore opportunities for regional integration, trade expansion, and investment.
ChucaoTech’s participation as a strategic partner aligns seamlessly with the summit’s objectives. The company’s focus on sustainable development, resource efficiency, and environmental protection complements the EAC’s broader goals of promoting economic resilience, climate adaptation, and green growth.
During the summit, ChucaoTech will showcase its groundbreaking nanobubble technology through a dedicated exhibition booth and a series of technical sessions and workshops. These activities will highlight the practical applications of the technology in various sectors and demonstrate its potential to address some of the most pressing challenges facing East Africa today.
One of the most notable aspects of the partnership is ChucaoTech’s commitment to addressing water pollution in East Africa. The company has already begun exploring opportunities to implement its technology in Lake Victoria and its tributaries, as well as the Nairobi River , to combat eutrophication and reclaim the health of these critical water bodies. These efforts will be showcased during the summit and will serve as a model for similar initiatives across the continent.
A Collaborative Approach to Scaling Impact
ChucaoTech recognizes that the success of its technology depends on the strength of its partnerships. In line with this philosophy, the company has established a robust network of collaborators who provide high-quality inputs, design solutions, and tools to reduce post-harvest losses and ensure significant gains in productivity and incomes.
As part of its partnership with the EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025, ChucaoTech will work closely with summit organizers, exhibitors, and attendees to identify new opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange. This includes joint ventures, research partnerships, and capacity-building programs aimed at empowering local communities and businesses to adopt sustainable technologies.
In addition, ChucaoTech will leverage the summit’s global platform to connect with investors, policymakers, and industry leaders who can support the scaling of its solutions across East Africa and beyond. The company’s presence at the summit will not only raise awareness about the benefits of nanobubble technology but also stimulate dialogue around the role of cleantech in achieving the SDGs.
Looking Ahead: A Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future
The partnership between the EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025 and ChucaoTech represents a bold step toward a more sustainable and prosperous future for East Africa. By combining the strengths of a leading cleantech innovator with the power of a premier regional summit, this collaboration has the potential to catalyze meaningful change in multiple sectors.
As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation, the need for innovative solutions has never been greater. ChucaoTech’s nanobubble technology offers a promising path forward—one that prioritizes environmental protection, economic growth, and social equity.
Through this partnership, the EAC Global Connect Summit and Expo 2025 reaffirms its commitment to fostering partnerships that drive sustainable development and create lasting value for all stakeholders. We look forward to welcoming ChucaoTech to our vibrant community of innovators, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders and to working together to shape a brighter, greener future for East Africa and the world.
