BBOXX attended the European final of the Global Social Venture Competition

BBOXX was one of the twelve finalists of the GSVC in London on the 4th of March at the London Business School. Even though we did not finish in the three projects that went on to the world final at Berkley, it was an enriching experience that allowed us to analyse in more depth the social impacts of our business operations. Throughout these events we met many like minded people and potential social investors who could potentially finance our growth and increase our impact on people’s quality of life in developing countries.
