Social Innovation Awards Finalist Projects
Introducing twelve initiatives that will make an impact
Social Innovation continues to be a transformative tool that offers viable and inclusive solutions for improving people’s lives.
Coming from Brazil, LATAM, Europe and the United States, the projects submitted to the latest edition of the Fundación MAPFRE Social Outreach Awards address, from a technological standpoint, problems related to health, the ageing population and the need to promote safe and sustainable mobility.
