Supporting the new generation of entrepreneurs
At the Didac Sanchez Foundation, we firmly believe in the transformative potential of youth entrepreneurship. That is why, every year, we organize the WHO IS WHO Awards, a competition that recognizes and supports young entrepreneurs with innovative projects.
These awards were born from the conviction that many talented young people have brilliant ideas but lack the resources or support needed to develop them. We want to be that bridge that helps them turn their dreams into reality.
Prize money and categories
The WHO IS WHO Awards have a total endowment of 30,000 euros, distributed as follows:
- First prize: 15,000 euros
- Second prize: 10,000 euros
- Third prize: 5,000 euros
Additionally, the awards are divided into 17 categories covering various sectors: technology, sustainability, social impact, health, education, culture, among others. This allows recognizing the diversity of entrepreneurial talent.
More than money
The WHO IS WHO Awards offer much more than financial endowment:
- Mentoring: Access to a network of experienced mentors who guide winners in developing their projects.
- Visibility: Media coverage and networking opportunities with investors and other entrepreneurs.
- Training: Workshops and educational resources to strengthen business skills.
- Community: Integration into a network of young entrepreneurs who support each other.
How to participate
Young entrepreneurs (under 35 years old) with projects at any stage of development can participate, from the initial idea to companies already in operation. The selection process values:
- The innovation and originality of the project.
- The potential for social or economic impact.
- The viability of the business model.
- The commitment and capacity of the entrepreneurial team.
Success stories
Since its creation, the WHO IS WHO Awards have driven dozens of projects that are now consolidated companies. Entrepreneurs who started with an idea and a dream, and who, thanks to the support received, have managed to create jobs, generate impact, and contribute to society.
