The five entrepreneurs who won the economic awards of the Second Edition of the Red emprendeverde Awards participated today in a workshop on successful experiences held in the context of the 12th National Congress on the Environment (CONAMA).

After the presentation by the director of the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, Sonia Castañeda, a colloquium was held in which the five entrepreneurs were able to tell the attendees about their experiences in the field of green entrepreneurship.

The participating entrepreneurs were Elena Alcalá (Pecocos), Eva García (Solar Aerothermal Collector), Daniel de Lucas (La Pina), Carlos Abadía (CartonLab) and Jorge González (Bluemove Carsharing). Each of them represents the five award-winning projects of the Second Edition of the Emprendeverde Awards held on November 12 at the headquarters of the Ministry. These awards rewarded the best sustainable business initiatives through two categories, each with two winners, and a runner-up prize.

During his speech, Castañeda highlighted the work of these entrepreneurs and all those of the Emprendeverde Network, which already has more than 6,300 members, “for contributing to a sustainable economy, for creating green employment, for eco-innovating and for providing solutions to social challenges”.
