Editor’s note: This article was first published in February 2011. The 18 March deadline, the selection of 10 initiatives and the program’s value of about €50,000 per project refer to the 2011 edition.
BBVA and ESADE have created Momentum Project, a program to support new, original and innovative initiatives aimed at bringing about social change.
We’ll define a social entrepreneur as someone who isn’t driven purely by financial interest and who seeks significant and lasting social change through an innovative idea. With Momentum Project, BBVA and ESADE are looking for entrepreneurs who can recognize a social problem and, starting from that problem, create, manage and develop a business project that brings about social change.
The call to select the 10 best social entrepreneurship initiatives that will take part in Momentum Project is open until 18 March.
Once selected, each entrepreneur will follow a specialized training program run by ESADE and will have the full support of a team of mentors. The whole program, which also focuses on raising funding, is valued at around €50,000 per project.
So if, besides a financial return, you’re also looking for a human one, this is your chance.
