Hipocampus is a social enterprise that aims to increase access to high quality early childhood care and education services in vulnerable communities. These people live in peri-urban-rural areas that lack childcare services or with inadequate options in terms of quality, distance, and schedule. It designed a sustainable B2B2C model with a comprehensive focus on 4 products, bringing high-quality care, education and accompaniment to children from 0 to 6 years old, fathers, mothers, caregivers and other organizations that offer these types of services in vulnerable communities. Hipocampus established so far 11 Centers serving more than 900 children and 1,550 parents and 65 women from local communities in the states of Michoacán, Estado de México, Guanajuato and Veracruz with on-going training and quality employment for educators. During the first years of life, the brain develops faster than at any other stage (90% of the brain develops before the age of 6). Children who do not receive quality interactions will have 25% lower lifetime earnings and a 70% greater chance of being arrested for a violent crime. In Mexico there are 11 million children under 6 years of age and 53% live in poverty. Public services lack the flexibility to adapt to the reality of working parents, so currently less than 6% of children under 3 years of age attend a formal care center.

Utopia's mission is aligned with the 2030 Agenda and promotes SDGs 1, 4 and 10.

They promote the culture and consumption of corn and tortillas as fundamental elements of the nutrition of Mexico through the generation and dissemination of knowledge about corn and tortillas. They also contribute to the construction of public policies in favor of Mexican corn, the promotion of the conservation of the diversity of corn and other associated species in the milpa system, as well as the promotion of social and economic development around corn and its derivatives. Since 1980, tortilla consumption per capita in Mexico has decreased by 40%. Since this is the main destination of maize and the main source of nutrients for families, the decrease in its consumption has negative effects. During this period there has also been a deterioration in the quality of corn foods, an increase in health problems related to poor nutrition, the loss of corn biodiversity, the abandonment of jobs in agriculture, an increase in its importation causing food insecurity. 

Fundación Tortilla's mission is aligned with the 2030 Agenda and help promote SDGs 1, 3, 4, 10 and 12.

Natoure is a social enterprise that builds a community of people who love nature and care for it, and also care about the inclusion of local communities, where responsible travel is the best excuse. To this end, they created a fair trade technology platform that promotes sustainable tourism in Natural Protected Areas, directly connecting travelers with local organizations and also with forest rangers. They created "ecorate", a tourism sustainability index that measures the social, environmental and economic impacts generated by the tourism industry. Mexico emits 1% of greenhouse gases; however, it has a great climate responsibility as it is the 4th most bio-diverse country in the world. Sadly, in 40 years Mexico has lost more than half of its forests and only 14% of the territory is protected. On the other hand, it is the 2nd most visited country in the world. However, more than 80% of the money that comes from tourism leaves the hands to a few foreign investors. The places where tourism arrives are destroyed in a very short time and the Mexicans who manage to enter the tourism value chain barely receive 5% of what visitors pay for their products. This because of a high quantity of intermediaries.

Natoure's mission is aligned with the 2030 Agenda and promotes SDGs 10 and 13.

Utopia offers development opportunities for children and adolescents living in conditions of poverty and extreme violence. They created the program "Peace is my Utopia", which through a holistic vision which is a socio-educational process generates positive changes in the lives of the participants, allows the full exercise of their human rights and positions them as subjects of change. This program includes community education, sports for development, digital skills, youth empowerment and promotion of psychosocial skills. Each area is designed to respond to the institutional diagnosis and transversally promotes gender equity and healthy masculinities.

The municipalities of Nezahualcóyotl and Chimalhuacán, where Utopia operates, are among the 50 most violent municipalities in Mexico with a double alert for gender-based violence. They are susceptible to falling into addictions, having premature pregnancies and organized crime has a presence in these communities. In this context, a group of professionals from different fields of knowledge (psychology, pedagogy, sports science, philosophy, social work, administration) built a holistic work methodology, based on participatory action research, aimed at offering development opportunities , which has allowed them to have national and international allies and keep the program in operation.

Utopia's mission is aligned with the 2030 Agenda and promotes SDGs 3,4 and 10.
