Towards a new innovation paradigm in Latin America November 2021
On 18-19 November 2021, the Latin American Network of Frugal Innovation held its annual event, aiming to raise awareness and knowledge, and to promote dialogue, about frugal innovation and its relevance for social entrepreneurship, women in STEM, circular economy, sustainability and the implementation of the SDGs in collaborative models that are based on trust to deliver and scale solutions and impact. The 2-day event was organized in 2 sessions that included 3 panels and 2 practical workshops, featuring the participation of remarkable international and regional experts.
This dialogue was addressed to individuals and organizations from different sectors and countries interested or involved in social and impact innovation for sustainable development and the SDGs.
