SOCAP23 - Social Impact Entrepreneurs from Haiti and Mexico
Channel: SOCAP Global
Date: 05/02/2024

We bring together a handpicked cohort of visionary entrepreneurs who champion innovative business models originating from rural and indigenous communities. These trailblazers stand at the forefront of movements for racial, climate, gender, and economic justice. Through the ingenious fusion of hybrid enterprises, collaborative coalitions, and innovative blended finance models, they are weaving a transformative tapestry that connects rural communities in Mexico and Haiti to equitable markets while amplifying their role in value chains.

These community-driven businesses are the linchpin for fostering sustainable economic growth and sustainability. With unwavering commitment to our priority places in Mexico and Haiti, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation takes immense pride in hosting this session.
