BUILDING A FUTURE WITHOUT BORDERS

Who we are

2Gether-International (2GI) is the largest accelerator for startups and non-profit organizations, run by and for entrepreneurs with disabilities. BID Lab is the innovation and venture capital arm of the Inter-American Development Bank. Together, we came together to create a Diverse Ecosystem, a collaboration that promotes entrepreneurship in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a focus on people with disabilities.

Our goal is to address current needs, close gaps and expand opportunities for entrepreneurs with disabilities in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Our mission

Our mission is to connect disabled entrepreneurs with the resources they need to thrive.

Why it's important

In Latin America and the Caribbean, 88 million people with disabilities live. By 2050, this number is expected to rise to 150 million
In Latin America, one in five households living in extreme poverty includes a person with a disability.
Entrepreneurship is a proven path for the inclusion and financial independence of people with disabilities.
