Semi-finalist projects in Brazil
Talent and commitment in the land of the samba
In Brazil, social innovation is an essential development tool, something that entrepreneurs are very well aware of. The initiatives that have been selected to take part in the semi-finals of the Fundacion MAPFRE Awards for Social Innovation are a good example of this. Commitment, sustainability, viability and social impact are just some of the attributes that all the projects have in common.
From this regional semi-final, only one project per category will go forward to the final. The mentoring received by each team from the IE University will help them to strengthen their proposals and demonstrate their ability to carry out their transformative initiatives. A panel of experts in social entrepreneurship and impact, among other experts, will be responsible for selecting the best three proposals. We wish them all the best of luck!
