Fernando Fischmann is a scientist, businessman, biochemist and real estate developer, whose most notable project is the Crystal Lagoons innovation.
Fernando Fischmann was born in Santiago. He attended the Grange School in Santiago and then the University of Chile, earning a graduate degree in biochemistry. 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 him to develop 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 Crystalline Lagoon and since then he has been internationally honored for his career as an innovator and ambassador of international business. Recently he wins The Stevie® Award in its two categories: Innovator of the Year, for his sustainable vision for water usage, and for Innovation of the Year, for his water desalination technology that uses no energy.

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.
