Semi-finalist projects in Latin America (except Brazil)
Social entrepreneurship: an instrument of change
Social innovation is an irrefutable value that is on the rise in Latin America. With their creative and achievable ideas, the proposals selected to go forward to this regional semi-final of the Fundacion MAPFRE Awards for Social Innovation have a common goal: to transform and improve our world. The projects chosen to take part in this semi-final phase come from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala and Peru.
To prepare for the semi-finals, the representatives of each initiative will be given mentoring sessions by the IE University to help strengthen the defense of their projects and convince the jury of the potential of their initiatives and their ability to implement them, always seeking a positive social and environmental impact. We wish them all the best of luck!
