The Pioneers of Prosperity Awards Program 

The Pioneers of Prosperity is a global awards program made up of three regional competitions encompassing Africa, Central America, and the Caribbean. The program seeks to promote greater SME activity in emerging markets by rewarding successful firms and showcasing them as role models to their peers. 

Pioneers of Prosperity will award winners with up to US $100,000 to invest in their companies, and connect them to networks of technical expertise, potential investors, and other cutting-edge entrepreneurs on the local, regional, and global level. 

The Pioneers of Prosperity Awards programme is sponsored by the Multilateral Investment Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank, The John Templeton Foundation, and The Social Equity Venture Fund. OTF Group manages the implementation of the programme.
