Birchman organised and led a CORFO-funded mission of Chilean businessmen to the UK in October 2010. The mission was comprised of the managing directors of renewable energy companies, and the objective was to identify renewable energy technologies with a potential to be deployed in Chile, and establish contacts with the vendors of such technologies.

The mission started by participating at the European Future Energy Forum (EFEF10) in London (October 19th and 20th); then went on to Cambridge to participate in the Cambridge Energy Forum (CEF - October 21st) and participate in one-to-one meetings with Cambridge-based innovative companies, organised by Environtech (October 22nd); and finally to Manchester to particpate in one-to-one meetings organised by Envirolink Northwest (October 25th).

Paul Griffiths, Partner with Birchman Chile, moderated a roundatable at EFEF10 and made a keynote speech at CEF, both on the Energy sector in Chile and the opportunity for non-fossil fuels.
