From this perspective, Solve for Tomorrow, Samsung’s global social responsibility program, celebrates its mobilization in 22 Latin American countries and praises the drive of students. from Barbados, Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela, to align with one of SFT’s philosophical foundations: innovation with purpose.
SFT is an educational initiative with significant impact and growth in Latin America, impacting more than half a million students. In Central America and the Caribbean, a significant increase in participation has been reported, reaching more than 13,000 students and teachers each year.
This result illustrates the receptiveness, enthusiasm, and confidence that this Samsung Electronics program generates in the region, as an attractive platform for new generations eager for resources, preparation, and strategies to act for the benefit of their communities.
This year, approximately 10,000 young people and teachers from public schools in Central American and Caribbean countries, among others, participated in training sessions in the first phase of SFT 2025, to learn Design Thinking tools that promote the effective formulation of innovative solutions.
