Citigroup joins Glasswing to cultivate innovation
Published on August 9, 2023 by Glasswing
Citi Foundation and Glasswing held Ideathons in Honduras and El Salvador. This is an initiative for their Nucleo Club, which focuses on fostering digital inclusion, financial and life skills capabilities, as well as innovation and social entrepreneurship training among youth in the region.
The objective of the Ideathon is for club participants to generate and share innovative ideas in response to a particular need, involving members of the community in solving local pressing problems. The topic for Honduras’s competition was “Sustainable Businesses” and El Salvador’s was “A Greener Country.” The Nucleo Club also extends to Panama, Trinidad, Costa Rica and Guatemala, where Ideathons will be held later this summer. In total, we anticipate 1,350 young people will participate and more than 80 ideas will be presented. Seed capital of $1,000 will be provided to the three best ideas in each country.
