Description: 

Providing solutions to real problems is the main goal of social innovators, who through their projects contribute to meeting the social needs and demands of the public.

With them in mind, we are launching the seventh edition of the Fundación MAPFRE Social Innovation Awards, with the collaboration of IE as an academic partner, broadening our scope even further. In this edition can participate projects from four major regions: Brazil, the rest of Latin America, Europe and the United States of America.

In this new edition, we are promoting innovative projects with enormous potential for social impact in the following categories:

  • Safe and sustainable mobility.
  • Silver Economy: opportunities for senior population.
  • Health improvement and digital technology (e-Health).

From all the projects submitted, 12 finalists will be chosen (3 finalists per category and per region) who will receive coaching sessions from IE University and will go on to participate in the Grand Final.

The three winning projects (one in each category) will receive 40,000 euros in cash to promote their project and will benefit from free consultancy services provided by Fundación EY (FEY), Fundación MAPFRE’s partner in this sixth edition of the awards.

In addition, the entire community of social innovators involved in our awards will be able to participate in the exchange of knowledge and expert support provided through the Red Innova innovation network.
