The CEMEX-TEC Award and CEMEX-Tec Centre would like to thank you all for your support in the 2020 call in which we celebrate our 10th anniversary. This year we had a record of 1,678 registered projects from 61 countries.
The 2020 winners include 33 projects from 13 countries, these entrepreneurs are committed to changing the status quo, and with the capacity not only to imagine a more equitable and sustainable world, but with the determination to act to create that change.
The winners usually go to Monterrey for an intensive week of training, which we call Experience Week. This year, given the current situation, we migrated to a virtual mode by designing an enriching experience with workshops, mentoring, networking spaces, cultural activities and celebrations.
The Experience Weeks 2020 will take place from 21st September to 2nd October.
The ultimate goal of the CEMEX-TEC Award is to make these agents of change visible. We want to provide them with tools that help them grow their impact and bring them closer to a community similar to themselves. This in turn, will allow us to strengthen the ecosystem of social impact innovation that today already comprises more than 5,000 entrepreneurs globally.
