Makers reserves licences, special terms and limited initial support for organisations and entrepreneurs addressing social, community or inclusion challenges in Portuguese-speaking countries.
Some projects do not need more noise. They need to respond faster, organise requests, follow up on opportunities and save hours of repetitive work.
The Makers Impact Programme exists to reduce barriers to technology, without turning social responsibility into an automatic promotion.
Non-profit organisations, associations, foundations, social cooperatives, local groups and community projects with a verifiable public mission.
Entrepreneurs experiencing vulnerability, changing careers, operating in an under-represented area or validating a project with a social or community impact.
Incubators, universities, municipalities, foundations, volunteer networks and support organisations that validate or support applications.
The programme does not promise the same benefit to everyone. The arrangement depends on the product, problem, maturity, availability and capacity to use it.
The arrangement is decided case by case, according to the product, maturity, duration and operational capacity.
The team examines the operational problem before recommending a product, pilot, discount or referral.
Where appropriate, the programme may include assisted setup, templates, workflows or initial guidance.
Access may be renewed, adjusted, moved to a subsidised plan or responsibly brought to an end.
The application helps identify whether the best route is a ready-made product, a channel agent, AOS, Studio or a phased combination.
Map partners, sponsors, local businesses, opportunities and regional networks.
