Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) was
the site of this year’s INSEAD Social Entrepreneurship Conference: “Technology, Innovation and Social Change” on 25 - 26 April. More
than 150 people from more than two dozen countries participated in the
invigorating event populated with speeches, roundtables, panels, pitching
sessions, and many opportunities for networking. Even more events surrounded the conference itself
including a student venture competition, site visits, the ISEP Reunion and the
magic of Madrid itself.
The topics and activities focused on
innovative applications of technology, both high-tech and basic-tech that
enable social entrepreneurs to address important unmet social needs. It drew
upon the unique expertise brought by INSEAD’s diverse global network of social
entrepreneurs, partners including Fundación Banesto, Universidad Politécnica de
Madrid (UPM), Telefónica, idtUPM, ONGAWA-Ingeniería para el desarrollo humano,
and more.
Bagua Mundi, an innovative social venture
start up which develops, promotes and sells products to disinfect drinking
water for emergencies won the student venture competition. Based at the Universidad
de Cádiz, Bagua Mundi will receive an award sponsored by ONGAWA (Ingeniería
para el desarrollo humano), Fundación Banesto and INSEAD.
