The Empower Innovation Challenge (EIC) is an initiative aimed at supporting women-led micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is an open platform where submissions can be made directly on the website. On the website users can find information about timeline, project's goals, criteria eligibility, instructions on participation, and details about grant. The project provides small grants to help these businesses expand by offering training, access to capital, networking opportunities, and partnerships with local and international companies. The primary objective of the grant is to promote sustainable solutions in green and blue economies, address barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, and foster inclusive growth.
