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. Eight editions of the Awards have already made them a benchmark in the global innovation ecosystem.

With the closing ceremony, the eighth edition of our awards has come to an end. The twelve shortlisted projects, developed in four major geographic regions: Brazil, the rest of Latin America, Europe and the United States, have demonstrated incredible potential for impact in the following key categories:

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

Throughout the process, the finalists (three for each category and region) have been mentored and coached online and the three winners, one in each category, have received a prize of 40,000 euros in cash to further their projects. In addition, all the participants are 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.

We look forward to seeing you at the next edition of the Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards!

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.
