Distrito Emprende – Empowering Youth for Triple Impact
The Fundación Trabajo Empresa (FTE), together with Helvetas Bolivia, the Municipal Government of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, and Hub Santa Cruz, is expanding the Distrito Emprende program to reach all 15 municipal districts of Santa Cruz.
This initiative promotes youth entrepreneurship with social, environmental, and economic impact, fostering innovation and collaboration at the local level. Through workshops, mentoring, and project incubation, young participants will develop sustainable business ideas that contribute to community development and the city’s green economy.
It is a public–private initiative that builds an alliance to support the entrepreneurial growth of the city of Santa Cruz, strengthening the ecosystem and empowering youth to lead Bolivia’s transformation toward sustainability and innovation.
