The 3rd edition of the TFG-TFM MONDRAGON Sariak 2024 awards has been a complete success! This year we have broken records: 305 works presented from 57 universities and 52 finalists sharing their ideas and talent in an incredible day.
The Soraluce Factory Portal was the perfect place for a day that started with visits to the Laboral Kutxa, Orbea and Fagor Arrasate cooperatives. The finalists not only learned about the MONDRAGON cooperative model, but also participated in very interesting group dynamics with representatives from Fagor Taldea, Orbea, Laboral Kutxa, Eika, Ikerlan, DanobatGroup and MONDRAGON.
In the afternoon came the most exciting moment: the awards ceremony, where 10 exceptional projects were recognized in key areas such as digital transformation, sustainability, mobility and social innovation.
