As part of the digital cooperation between Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe, the SPIDER project, in collaboration with RedCLARA, launches an innovative call to promote the strategic use of BELLA . The goal of this initiative is to speed up the creation of solutions based on AI, cybersecurity, and the use of digital resources. This will help both regions become more digitally competitive and transform.
Winning Initiatives of the Ideathon Propose Innovative Environmental Solutions for Guatemala
- Jenny Flores
The virtual Ideathon “Proactive Risk Management in the Motagua River Basin” concluded on February 20 with the selection of three winning projects proposing innovative solutions to mitigate the effects of environmental degradation in the region. Over the course of a week, more than 90 participants, organized into seven teams, developed proposals to use satellite data from the European Union’s (EU) Earth observation program, Copernicus, for water management, waste disposal, and ecosystem conservation. Five speakers, seven mentors, and pitch sessions supported the process by providing feedback and refining the solutions.
