Fernando Fischmann is a scientist, businessman, biochemist and real estate developer, whose most notable project is the Crystal Lagoons innovation. 〔()〕 ==Biography== Fernando Fischmann was born in Santiago. His grandparents were from Germany and arrived to Curicó, Chile in 1930 and soon moved to Santiago, where his parents were born.〔(Mauricio Runno, interview with Fischmann, ''Recortes y Periodismo'' 17 November 2007 )〕 He attended the Grange School in Santiago〔("I was alone in a period when no-one believed it could be done", emol (''El Mercurio'' (Santiago) on line), 24 January 2010 )〕 and then the University of Chile, graduating in biochemistry in 1987.〔(Nick Leiber, ''Fernando Fischmann's Power-Enabling Pools'', ''Bloomberg Businessweek'' Magazine, 14 April 2011 )〕 He entered the estate agency business and began to invest in property, and in 1986 bought 60 hectares of land at the port of Algarrobo, on the coast of central Chile, with the plan to develop a holiday resort, now known as San Alfonso del Mar, around an artificial crystalline lagoon. This led to 〔 him developing a new process for maintaining the purity and clarity of water in large volumes and low costs. The lagoon opened in December 2006. He founded Crystal Lagoons Corp. in 2007, and his project San Alfonso del Mar won that year the Guinness Record as the world's largest Lagoon Crystalline and since then he has been internationally honored by authorities from the United States for his career as an innovator and ambassador of international business, such as the Governor of Florida and the Beacon Council, an organization that gave the Keys to Miami. Recently, Crystal Lagoons awarded “Best New Business” by the Great Miami Chamber of Commerce at the 2015 International Business Leadership Awards. This recognition honors the globalized companies that are positively impacting Florida’s economy and generating employment in that state, boosting their business sectors and reaching standards of excellence in their operations. 〔(Axxis Solutions, "Crystal Lagoons Wins 2015 GMCC International Business Leadership Award" )〕 Fischmann is currently Director of the German scientific research institute Fraunhofer, Europe’s most important of its kind.〔(Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, "Fernando Fischmann appointed to the Board of Fraunhofer Chile Research" )〕 Also, he has received many international awards, including businessman of the year, entrepreneur of the year, innovator of the year and the Guinness World Record for the San Alfonso del Mar project, among many others. The last award received by his company Crystal Lagoons is the National Environment Award, which honors entities and sustainable projects that are committed to safeguarding the environment. Crystal Lagoons received this award for its “Sustainable Cooling Technology for Industrial Processes”.〔(El Mercurio, ''"El Mercurio", Recyclápolis y UC entregan Premio Nacional de Medio Ambiente 2015'' )〕 . In addition, he is director of the North America Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), and is a member of the advisory council of the business network Endeavor (non-profit).〔(Endeavor Chile, profile of advisors )〕 Estimates such as The Boston Consulting Group evaluated in 2008 his company's worth at 1.8 billion USD after a year and a half in operation. However, this estimate didn't include the industrial applications and expansion of Crystal Lagoons in this area, as these were developed later. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernando Fischmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
