¿What is Innova-Nation?

Program and movement that promotes entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability in children and young people, which is composed of: Trainings and workshops, Global Activation in favor of the SDGs, Intercollegiate Entrepreneurship Contest, Immersion Programs in Ecosystems and a Festival of 2 days.

Entrepreneurship has proven to be one of the engines of the World Economy, mobilizing various gears within society. For this reason, INNOVA-NATION is committed to training the new Generation of Social Entrepreneurs and at the same time serving as a means to amplify the impact of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals agreed by the UN Member States.

In our programs, young people create their own products, present their ideas in public, polish persuasion techniques and teamwork. The methodology is created to encourage creative thinking and promote innovation from the DesignThinking process, with a focus on sustainability and based on STEAM subjects.

At the Festival, children from an early age are contagious and interested in a different world full of challenges and innovation, technology and sustainability.
