Fundación MAPFRE Awards for Social Innovation

Safe and sustainable mobility.

The Silver Economy.

Health improvement and digital technology (e-Health).

The Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards were launched in 2017 with the clear goal of promoting projects capable of generating a positive impact on our environment and of being replicated in other contexts, amplifying their scope. Today, with the launch of a new edition of these awards, we are reaffirming our conviction that finding solutions to people’s genuine problems is a task for everyone. 

This new call is aimed at projects developed in four major geographic regions: Brazil, the rest of Latin America, Europe and the United States. They all have a high potential for impact in the following key categories:

  • Safe and sustainable mobility.
  • The Silver Economy.
  • Health improvement and digital technology (e-Health).

If you are developing an initiative that offers creative and collaborative solutions in these areas, is focused on promoting social justice, inclusion and sustainability, and has the capacity to generate a multiplier effect for social change, we invite you to present it to us before November 30.

From all the projects submitted, we will shortlist 12 finalists (three per category and region), which will receive mentoring and personalized online coaching and will travel to Madrid to participate in the Grand Final. The three winners, one in each category, will be announced during the ceremony and they will receive a prize of 40,000 euros in cash to promote their project. In addition, all the participants will become part of our network of social innovators, Red Innova, which promotes knowledge exchange and expert support.

The Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards are supported by IE University as our academic partner and Fundación EY España and BID Lab as collaborating partners. Recognized for their work and track record, these institutions bolster Fundación MAPFRE’s commitment over our nearly 50 years of history, during which we have never stopped striving for social progress and the well-being of people.

Red Innova

The social entrepreneurs of our awards remain connected through this “network of networks” which benefits from peer support and fosters the exchange of expert knowledge, thus contributing to the social innovation ecosystem and advocating a positive impact.

You will find all the latest news and trends in this section

We are connected. Learn from others. We are social beings by nature and the difference lies in our ability to exchange ideas. In this section you will find relevant information to reflect upon, polish your project, discover who else may be working with similar objectives to yours and how that might affect you. Everything is on the move. Keep up to date.

Hemos contado para esta aventura con partners y colaboradores con los que hemos compartido experiencias y hemos crecido

This adventure would not have been possible without the participation of organisations who share our ultimate goal of making this world a better place, and who agree that social innovation is an essential tool to achieve this.

A universe of social innovators

Our Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards now have their own organization. Through the various calls we have met social entrepreneurs from different countries, and we have shared their successes. They are part of our lives and their stories are ours. Get to know our universe, get to know our news.
