History
For the first time in history, on November 28 of 2015 Chile exhausted its natural resources corresponding to one year and began to spend those corresponding to future generations. This milestone of no return inspired the creation of 2811 in 2016, a platform for social change established in Chile, Germany, Colombia, Brazil, and the United States.
Purpose
In 2811 we seek to strengthen the ecosystems of innovation and social entrepreneurship that allow us to offer multi-sectoral, systemic, and sustainable solutions to the present’s most pressing challenges. We seek radical collaboration, hand in hand with organizations and groups with different experiences and backgrounds, belonging to sectors that are open to learning from each other, such as academics, business, and humanitarian. We are the channel through which relationships supporting change can be structured, regionally and globally.
