Sociedades Del Futuro

Principle partners: FISCHE Consulting and Communicacion Lateral

Wealth in Mexico is unequally distributed, with the youth in particular trapped in a cycle of material poverty and poverty of opportunity.

Entrepreneurship comes so much more naturally to youth: they are inclined to be innovative because they have experienced social need first hand. Social innovation is a large potential growth sector within the existing economy that can be delivered by a large population of young people hungry for the opportunity.

This project will train and coach young Mexicans to work alongside development agencies, businesses and communities to identify needs and create economically viable social enterprises by introducing prototype enterprise models into existing business incubators with the support of impact investors and migrant communities.

The intentions

• We will promote and elevate the Social Enterprise conversation with people in Mexico;
• We will build a support network of young professional NextPlayers;
• We will use NextPlays as a consulting bridge between agency and community needs, and to link with business corporate social responsibility missions;
• We will create community innovation portfolios to foster systemic change;
• We will successfully funnel prototype enterprise models into existing business incubators with the support of impact investors and migrant communities.
