Emprediem Project

What is the Emprediem Project?

Emprediem is a certified B company with over 12 years of experience, known for its focus on fair trade and social transformation. This project believes in entrepreneurship as a tool for positive change, connecting brands with sustainability and bridging the inequality gap in Latin America… The commitment to fair trade and measurable impact is evident from every initiative undertaken.

Main Benefit and Impact at a Glance

  • +1500 Entrepreneurs impacted
  • +60 Certified mentors
  • +230 Mentorships conducted
  • $30 million in e-commerce sales
  • 76 Entrepreneurs commercializing their products
  • $259 million in sales at Tienda Primeros Pueblos

Commercialization: Elevating Local Enterprises

Driven to support entrepreneurs and artisans, the project enhances products and omnichannel sales strategies. Assistance is provided in optimizing design, packaging, and pricing, all while strengthening commercial skills for a sustainable edge in competitive markets. This results in successful integration into both physical stores and online platforms… making each business stand out.

Training: Empowering Through Expert Mentorship

Tailored training programs are designed and implemented with a personalized methodology that empowers entrepreneurs. The certification of Impact Mentors and the promotion of inclusion and sustainability are at the core of these sessions. This approach not only increases skills but also creates a ripple effect, generating real impact within communities and encouraging creative, sustainable solutions.

Networking and Connections: Building Strong Collaboration

The project offers a dynamic network that connects entrepreneurs, mentors, and key ecosystem players through events, alliances, and business rounds. These strategic connections foster collaboration and create growth opportunities. By facilitating such synergies, the initiative ensures that each participant can drive social innovation and tangible changes in the market.

Project Impact Alignment with SDGs

  • SDG 1: No Poverty
  • SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
  • SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

Why Emprediem Stands Out

With 13 years of solid experience and a trusted B certification, Emprediem is a beacon of innovation and sustainable impact in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Trusted by organizations such as Citi, Avina, Incami, Acción Empresa, Enel, Sofofa, CMPC, Banco Estado, Corfo, and many more, the project uses an innovative methodology that delivers measurable results. Its comprehensive learning experiences focus on triple impact and sustainable development, continually driving social impact and creative change.
