Winners of the Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards
We present the three award-winning projects in this sixth edition
Since we set off on the adventure that is these awards, the prize-giving ceremony, where the three winners are announced, has become the culmination of all our efforts: the social entrepreneurs have the opportunity to present and showcase their projects and the judging panel performs the difficult task of selecting the best three. In this edition, with the USA participating as a new geographical area and an increase in the number of shortlisted projects to twelve, we were able to add even more talent to an event that was watched with excitement by both those who attended in person and those who connected via streaming.
The three winners received 40,000 euros each to boost their projects and multiply their impact. They now form part of our Red Innova, an ecosystem that connects the social innovators who are the finalists and semi-finalists from all the editions of this competition.
