Entrepreneur Encounter 2025: A Resounding Success at the Finale

Organized and moderated by the renowned philanthropreneur Elena Dolinski, this encounter was designed as a space for connection and growth for innovative projects that promote a transformative vision of entrepreneurship. Over 100 initiatives from various parts of the world applied, submitting their pitches in Spanish or English, hoping to reach the finale.

A total of twenty finalists were selected to present their ideas to an expert jury at the Startup OLÉ Miami 2025 event, held within the framework of eMerge Americas, the most influential technology and innovation fair in the United States. The day began with a welcome speech and an introduction to the spirit of Entrepreneur Encounter: democratizing access to opportunities for entrepreneurs who build with purpose. The finalists' presentations, broadcast in a hybrid format (in-person and virtual), stood out for their clarity, passion, and vision of impact.

Each pitch was evaluated by a jury that considered criteria such as business viability, financial sustainability, leadership, innovation, alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and commitment to a triple-impact economy.
