Pathways to Prosperity - Innovation Challenge for Latin America

The challenge seeks solutions that address market access for SMEs, support for SMEs to meet trade standards, workers' rights, and support for SMEs to adopt clean technology. WEC and the U.S. Department of State want to support innovators who collaborate with others to achieve impact and who are ready to take their success to scale.

As many as four winners will each receive up to US$500,000 and technical support to help them expand into new places and spaces. All challenge participants will be invited to join a support network for peer-to-peer mentoring.
