Tallinn, Harju, Estonia

I'm a Puerto Rican researcher at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) in Estonia, pursuing a PhD in Digitalization and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems. My research explores how digitalization impacts the development of entrepreneurial ecosystems. Specifically, I'm interested in how digital tools can be leveraged across borders to enhance accessibility of entrepreneurial resources and assist in the transition towards more    economies.  Before entering  I gained experience in local and international public accounting firms, specializing in financial advisory and business risk services. I worked with clients across diverse industries in Puerto Rico, the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean, leading projects in financial modeling, internal audit, M&A due diligence, and business process reviews. Following the devastation of hurricanes Irma and Maria in my homeland of Puerto Rico, I transitioned to the non-profit sector. Here, I conducted  on disaster recovery and led the design and evaluation of business support programs for nascent entrepreneurs in underserved communities.  My passion for combining business expertise with  led me to found Labfields where I leverage my past experiences to design accessible tools and services that empower small businesses to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.

Braga, Portugal

Hi, my name is Sílvia, I live in the wonderful city of Braga upt in the North of Portugal. I am a trained economist, a marketing enthusiast and a social entrepreneur at heart. I started my own business in Marketing & Communication in 2010 and in 2020 I founded my own brand: re.store! re.store is the Planet-and-People friendly brand built on the circularuty principles. We upcycle textile waste, leftovers and samples from the Portuguese textile industry (so far, +6.e tons) and transform them into new, functional products with a purpose. All our products are stitched by our social partners (social institutions, refugees, prison inmates, social causes) to whom we pay a financial salary (+€58k so far) and an emotional one because we foster their self esteem and sense of belonging in society. We also share our experience, stories and motivation at schools and universities as well as in organizations because we believe we must contribute to the collective awareness that we need to change and transform our consumer behaviour. And this is the 3rd P in our strategy: Pedagogy for change (1st being People and 2nd being Planet). I am thrilled to be able to join this community, to share our experience and concerns and learn from others, thus contributing to the importance of a sustainable and socially inclusive TOMORROW!
