As CEO and Co-Founder of CCN-Beacon, Andrés Díaz Bedolla has experience in ideating and executing growth and communication models for the company’s new projects. During the fellowship, Andrés aims to learn about other cultures’ approaches to social entrepreneurship, develop in-depth mechanisms for reaching new markets, and expand his network of like-minded individuals. Upon returning to Mexico, Andrés plans to launch the “Digital Village” project, in which he will partner with the Ministry of Education in training public university students in digital transformation skills. He will also work with the Ministry of Economic Development so they can, in turn, support micro and small business owners in at-risk communities, equipping them to utilize new technologies as a means for sustainable development.
