“Entrepreneurship means to open a path; you can do it for-profit or without profit, to start a business or an organization, or within an already established company. Being a public entrepreneur you have an opportunity to start a path in public policies, to create new proposals for action and engagement with governments, allowing them to have a more realistic picture of a problem, and act and decide in a more accurate manner in favor of the population.”

“We wish to create solutions that improve people’s lives, and ensure these solutions encourage government initiatives. We want to collaborate with the public sector in order to maximize our social and ecological impact.”

“In Laboratoria we see public entrepreneurship as a unique opportunity to generate a systemic change, aimed to solve local public issues, such as education. We seek the transformation of women’s communities through government partners, as we find innovative ways to serve our target audience. The success of our program lies on the linkage and coordination between the civil society, the public sector and the private sector.”

“Public entrepreneurship is an opportunity to deploy a tangible social justice, which means solving social problems and breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty, and create the opportunity to generate income that allow social mobility, the reintegration of the social tissue and, most importantly, the creation of solidary economies.”
