With the aim of promoting local talent and innovation in Jáchal, the company will provide comprehensive support to these entrepreneurs, thus strengthening the development ecosystem of the province.
As part of its commitment to local development and innovation, the Vicuña Project announced the eight winning projects to participate in the incubation process. The Community Relations area was in charge of the pre-incubation process and the contest for the selection of the applications. These projects, which range from technology and renewable energies to handicraft production, were chosen from a total of 14 applications, and the Lundin Foundation will be responsible for the incubation stage, as a strategic partner of Vicuña, to achieve the program's objective.
This initiative seeks to generate an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the community of the department of Jáchal, offering comprehensive support so that ideas with great potential become sustainable and competitive businesses. "We are very excited with the quality and vision of the selected projects. Each one of them reflects the talent and creativity that we want to promote in Jáchal, and their success will be a tangible sign of the value we create together," said Ana Cernuda of the Project's Community Relations team.
