The 10 finalists gathered on October 15th at the new Casa del Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) to receive their awards. More than 150 people attended the event to learn firsthand about the ideas of our new Innovators Under 25 and to hear the announcement of the two special mentions: Innovator of the Year and Social Innovator.

Our assistant director of MIT Technology Review, Spanish Edition and the VP of People at Opinno, Cecilia Nicolini (http://www.opinno.com/en/users/cecilia-nicolini), served as MC for the ceremony. "The innovators we selected are working on projects that aim to solve problems in innovative ways and improve the lives of millions of people", Nicolini highlighted.

Along with Nicolini, the event included the participation of additional leaders from MIT like the vice president and treasurer of MIT, Israel Ruiz, the researcher from the MIT Senseable City Lab Jonathan Feng Sun, and the founder of the MIT Metro Lab, Gabriel Lanfranchi. We were also able to include several winners of previous editions such as the CEO of Acámica, Tomás Escobar, the CEO and founder of VU Security, Sebastián Stranieri, and the CEO of Fnbox, Rodrigo Teijeiro.

In order to guarantee the excellence of the winning projects, selected from amongst 150 candidatures, we engaged an international panel of expert judges (http://innovatorsunder35.com/community-judges) to whom we at Opinno wish to extend our gratitude, as well as to the local Government of Buenos Aires, the Inter-American Development Bank, Cites and the City of Vicente Lopez for their support.
