Momentum BBVA
BBVA Momentum is Mexico's largest business accelerator for social and
environmental entrepreneurs, supporting their growth and providing training,
mentoring, networking, visibility and financing of projects that bravely tackle
social and environmental problems.
In 2018, BBVA Bancomer hosted the sixth edition of the program, which proved
to be hugely successful, attracting more applications than a year earlier.
In late 2018, Social Investment Day was carried out at Torre Bancomer in Mexico City. The 40 most
enterprising projects of the program (20 more than the number presented in 2017) presented their
business plans to Bank officers, special guests and renowned entrepreneurs and business owners
in Mexico.

For the third straight year in 2018, the initiative awarded aid to 100 enterprising
social and environmental ventures, of which 20 went on take part in the global BBVA
Momentum program. These 20 beneficiaries received online training from the
prestigious IE Business School, in partnership with the EGADE Business School. For
four months, the entrepreneurs developed the skills and abilities needed to ramp
up their businesses and generate a greater impact on the social and environmental
issues raised.
The other 80 entrepreneurs received online training from the Monterrey
Technological University, along with acceleration programs delivered by
New Ventures.

Urban improvement
Mejora Urbana Bancomer is a program that believes strongly in being a good
neighbor and in maintaining strong and healthy ties with the local community. It
looks to recover spaces and generate valuable activities for communities located
near to the corporate headquarters.
In 2018, different cultural, social and educational activities were carried out
(including yoga classes, workshops on photography, dance and hydroponics,
among other subjects) and digital experiences.
BBVA Bancomer is now looking to get more third-party companies and entities
involved (civil society organizations, authorities, the community and other
companies), which will hopefully want to help with the recovery and improvement
of urban spaces. Key projects here include Sumando esfuerzos (Teaming up).
For the sixth edition of BBVA Momentum,
over 54 million pesos in funding
was approved for the entrepreneurs.
