Teaching and mentoring students in international cooperation and innovation

Supporting young innovators and local governments through pilot projects and field experiments

Between 2018 and 2020, I actively participated in international innovation competitions and social impact initiatives across several countries. Each project was designed to address pressing global challenges using creative, sustainable, and locally adapted solutions.

🇲🇽 Mexico – History Channel: "Una Idea Para Cambiar la Historia"

Project: Water from the Air in Remote Areas

Objective:
To develop a cost-effective solution to extract drinkable water from air in isolated, disaster-prone communities, addressing the critical issue of water scarcity.

Technology:
The project focused on Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs), devices that extract water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. AWGs operate by cooling air below its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into liquid water.

Feasibility and Market Potential:
AWGs are particularly useful in areas where potable water is difficult to obtain. The global atmospheric water generator market was valued at $2.7 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach $10.8 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2024 to 2033 . This growth is driven by increasing water scarcity, government-led initiatives, and rising environmental concerns.

🇫🇷 France – 24H of Innovation

Project: Sustainable and AI-Driven Concerts

Objective:
To propose a model for eco-conscious concerts enhanced by artificial intelligence, combining entertainment with sustainable technology and energy-efficient planning.

Technology:
The project integrated AI-driven systems to optimize energy consumption during live events, incorporating renewable energy sources and smart resource management to minimize environmental impact.

Feasibility and Market Potential:
While specific market data for AI in sustainable concerts is limited, the broader trend indicates a growing emphasis on sustainability in the entertainment industry. The integration of AI and sustainable practices is expected to become increasingly prevalent as environmental awareness continues to rise.

🇵🇪 Peru – Perú Resiliente (Presidency of the Council of Ministers)

Project: Drones for Disaster Relief

Objective:
To design a drone-based emergency response system capable of delivering aid and gathering real-time information in disaster-stricken zones, enhancing the efficiency of relief operations.

Technology:
The project utilized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensors and communication tools to assess disaster areas, deliver supplies, and coordinate with ground teams.

Feasibility and Market Potential:
Drones have been increasingly adopted for disaster relief efforts due to their ability to access hard-to-reach areas quickly. The global market for drones in disaster management is projected to grow significantly, driven by advancements in drone technology and the increasing frequency of natural disasters.

🇵🇪 Peru – National Innovation Contest (ProInnóvate, Ministry of Production)

Project: Start-up Park in Northern Peru

Objective:
To propose the creation of a fully serviced innovation park in northern Peru, an area highly exposed to natural disasters, to support start-ups focused on resilience and local development.

Technology:
The project envisioned a hub equipped with modern infrastructure, including co-working spaces, research facilities, and access to funding and mentorship programs, fostering innovation in disaster resilience technologies.

Feasibility and Market Potential:
Innovation parks play a crucial role in regional development by nurturing start-ups and promoting technological advancements. Establishing such a park in a disaster-prone area would not only stimulate economic growth but also enhance the region's capacity to respond to and recover from natural disasters.
