The MAR+Invest Acceleration Program seeks to promote the growth of early-stage and established companies with a positive impact on coral reefs in, at least, one of the Mesoamerican Reef (MAR) countries: Mexico (Quintana Roo), Belize, Guatemala and Honduras and its dependent communities. These ventures should contribute to solving one or more of the main threats to reefs like the lack of wastewater and solid waste treatment, overfishing, and climate change.
The program will support the selected projects through personalized training, development of impact indicators and measurement systems, strategic partnerships, and access to financial solutions.
