The First Young E3 Final Arrives in Latin America! Thanks to a partnership between universities and government entities in Argentina, the Young E3 competition reaches its grand finale in Latin America. The finalist teams will compete for cash prizes awarded to the top three projects in each category: Under 20 and Under 25. Throughout various stages, young entrepreneurs have worked intensively on their projects through both in-person and virtual activities. The process began with idea generation and validation, followed by business model creation, prototyping, and pitch rehearsals, culminating in the presentation of their proposals. From over 200 projects that started in the competition, 30 have reached the semifinal stage and will participate in an intensive Bootcamp, where the teams that will present their ideas at the Idea Fair will be selected. From there, the top 15 teams from the bootcamp will be chosen to deliver a three-minute pitch before a panel of judges, including representatives from participating universities, government education officials, renowned personalities from the entrepreneurial ecosystem and Alejandro Malgor of Young E3. The panel will then select the three winning teams in each category. #Competition #Entrepreneurs #University #Ideas #Creation #Innovation

It's been educational and inspiring to follow the work of these entrepreneurs and I'm also delighted to have had two of them on my podcast.
