Venezuela wins the Technovation 2019 edition
The South American country received a distinction after the Technovation organization chose the nation as the 2019 Latin American winner with the team that developed the Clean Up Plastic app (CUP)
The application will receive as a prize a scholarship valued at $ 1,000 that will contribute to continue developing the tool. Technovation evaluated 2,000 mobile applications from 57 countries and chose 12 finalists for the World Pitch Event that took place in California.
Venezuela was represented by the young Ayneth Rosario, Verónica Girón and Adrimar Moros, who stood out among the 239 participating groups from countries such as Chile, Brazil, Bolivia and Mexico.
For its part, Claudia Valladares, director and co-founder of Impact Hub Caracas and regional ambassador of Technovation Venezuela, said that the recognition is a great step in the career as technological entrepreneurs of teenage girls.
Clean Up Plastic aims to encourage recycling and help the environment through dynamic and fun challenges that must be filled weekly by the user. Once the four challenges of the month have been completed the person can contact the recycling companies through the tool.
Undoubtedly, the purpose of the initiative was to empower girls from vulnerable sectors in the world of technological entrepreneurship through the design of mobile applications.
