Entrepreneurship and Projects That Improve Our Society.

In a context marked by economic and social challenges, entrepreneurship has become a powerful tool for change and development. In Bolivia and Latin America, many projects not only aim for financial success but also generate positive impacts on their communities and the environment.

Through innovative programs like Solydes Aceleradora, Innovasalud, and IDEPRO IFD, the Solydes Foundation strengthens this trend, supporting ventures that combine economic sustainability with social impact. These initiatives provide entrepreneurs with access to tools and financing while fostering solutions aimed at improving living conditions for the most vulnerable populations, promoting inclusive and transformative development in Bolivia.

Innovation and Technology: Drivers of Change

Technology and innovation are essential factors in entrepreneurial projects that seek to transform society. Innovation enables the design of effective solutions to structural challenges like access to basic services, education, or employment. At the same time, technology democratizes resource access, connecting vulnerable communities with opportunities previously out of reach.

In this context, the Solydes Foundation, through Solydes Aceleradora, positions itself as a key player by empowering tech startups with training, mentorship, and funding programs. This focus on innovation not only strengthens local entrepreneurs but also contributes to the country’s sustainable development.

Strategic Support for Local Entrepreneurs

For entrepreneurship to thrive, continuous support and a solid structure that fosters growth are essential. This is where the Solydes Foundation plays a critical role through Escalatec, Bolivia’s first venture capital investment society. Escalatec identifies tech-based startups with the potential to expand across Latin America, providing funding and connecting them with investors and clients. This approach ensures that projects not only survive but also scale and create qualified employment in the country.

Education and Leadership Development

Quality education can also inspire entrepreneurship. Enseña por Bolivia, another initiative supported by the Solydes Foundation, trains young leaders to teach in vulnerable communities. This program not only improves educational quality but also fosters leadership skills in participants. With over 15,500 students impacted and a presence in 143 educational institutions, Enseña por Bolivia demonstrates how a commitment to education can drive structural societal changes.

Financial Inclusion as a Development Pillar

For entrepreneurship to grow and succeed, access to financing is essential. IDEPRO IFD, backed by the Solydes Foundation, contributes to the financial inclusion of micro and small business owners, artisans, and rural producers. IDEPRO offers innovative financial solutions tailored to the most vulnerable sectors of Bolivia’s economy. Its mission to facilitate funding and commitment to digital transformation has enabled more entrepreneurs to access previously unavailable resources, creating a virtuous cycle of economic development.

Health and Well-being for Vulnerable Communities

Access to quality healthcare is a critical component of social development. Innovasalud, supported by the Solydes Foundation and ProMujer, addresses this need with a network of clinics offering primary care and affordable health plans. Preventive medicine and health education are pillars of this program, which bridges access gaps and improves the quality of life for Bolivian families. By offering innovative and high-quality services, Innovasalud stands out as a sustainable solution for the well-being of the most vulnerable communities.

Building a Sustainable Future

Supporting ventures that improve society is essential to building a more inclusive and equitable future. The Solydes Foundation, with its focus on health, education, microfinance, and technological innovation, demonstrates that positive and sustainable changes are possible. By investing in seed capital, offering acceleration programs, and facilitating access to essential services, Solydes not only supports entrepreneurs but also strengthens Bolivia’s social and economic fabric.

In a world where challenges are increasingly complex, purpose-driven ventures are a beacon of hope. Thanks to the commitment of organizations like the Solydes Foundation, Bolivia is moving toward a more inclusive, innovative, and resilient society.
