The beVisioneers fellowship, a global initiative backed by Mercedes-Benz, officially opened its call for applications in Chile this week. The program is searching for seasoned professionals and sustainability experts to guide the next generation of environmental entrepreneurs.
Organizers confirmed that the fellowship aims to pair experienced mentors with young talent across Latin America. The initiative focuses on scaling projects that provide measurable, positive impacts on the planet.
Strengthening local innovation
The program has already supported several Chilean and Latin American innovators in previous cycles. By providing access to global networks and specialized training, beVisioneers seeks to bridge the gap between early-stage green ideas and market-ready solutions.
Prospective mentors should have a background in sustainability, innovation, or related fields. The role requires a commitment to fostering leadership and technical growth in participants developing climate-focused ventures.
Interested candidates have until May 31, 2026, to submit their applications through the official fellowship portal. Successful applicants will join a diverse cohort of mentors tasked with overseeing project development through the upcoming cycle.
While the program maintains a global footprint, it places a specific emphasis on regional expertise. Mentors are expected to help fellows navigate local challenges while applying international standards for environmental impact.
