🌿 I AM WORLD in Paphos: Madeiran Innovation with European Recognition
It was with great honor and enthusiasm that I AM WORLD participated in Paphos, Cyprus, as part of the Smarties for SMEs – Pills of Sustainable, Smart, Regenerative Tourism to Empower SMEs in the EU Mediterranean Area project, an initiative dedicated to promoting sustainable and regenerative practices in European tourism.
As part of the group, with ACIF (Dr. Frederica Cardoso and Dr. Roland Bachmeier), this participation represented a unique opportunity to present the I AM WORLD – The ReVersion Concept, Madeira, to a network of innovative projects with a major impact on sustainability and the regeneration of territories.
During the event, I AM WORLD stood out for its work in textile circularity, involving Madeiran companies, institutions, and creators in the construction of a new paradigm of sustainable consumption and creation. This collective and creative effort was recognized with 3rd place in the Innovative Project category, a moment of pride that reinforces the value of innovation with identity and purpose.
The trip to Paphos also featured two other prominent Madeiran projects—Roberto Varela, with Canto das Fontes @cantodasfontes, and João Silva, with his Veggie Burgers @veggie.hamburgueres. Both represent the creative energy and entrepreneurial vision that characterize the new landscape of sustainability and innovation in Madeira, in accommodation and in healthy, sustainable, practical (plant-based) functional food that is easy to prepare and intuitive.
This recognition in Paphos is another step in I AM WORLD’s mission: to inspire change through creativity, collaboration, and commitment to a more sustainable and conscious future. 🌍✨
