Broccoli project scoops two prizes
The Broccoli Project, the rewards programme for the poor
that I
wrote about
recently
, walked away with the
2nd prize in
Hit Barcelona’s Global Entrepreneurship Competition this past
week
. Spanish company Bmat won
first prize.
The Broccoli Project also won the award for “best social value” walking away
with total prize money of 25 000 euros to fund their activities. Whether they
attracted support from venture capitalists attending the event remains to be
seen.
Launching their updated website last week
(
http://broccoliproject.org
), Marc Anthony
Zimmerman, founder and CEO of the project thanked the numerous supporters that
had enabled them to get to Barcelona and to win the award.
