HILO SAGRADO, AMONG THE MOST DISRUPTIVE STARTUPS IN LATIN AMERICA THAT USES CREATIVITY TO IMPROVE LIVES
Demand Solutions is the IDB's most important innovation and entrepreneurship gathering, bringing together some of the world's most creative minds to share solutions that improve lives.
This year, the 13 best startups were selected to present their initiatives in Miami, and Hilo Sagrado from Colombia stood out for being a platform that connects ancestral talent with designers and companies to develop exclusive handcrafted products that preserve cultural heritage and penetrate the global ethical market.
Through empowerment programs and collaborative cloud design, they have helped 150 women in La Guajira, Colombia, increase their earnings by up to 600%.
Hilo Sagrado has a multidisciplinary team of women leaders in the fields of engineering, design, and social innovation with over 36 years of combined international experience. In 2016, they were incubated by Artisan Resource of NYnow, the largest lifestyle fair in the United States.
Hilo Sagrado is a member of the Ethical Fashion Forum in London, which recognizes 500 global pioneers for their work in ethical trade and sustainable fashion.
