Calafia at the #FIE Program – Learning at the Frontiers of Innovation We’re excited to share that two of Calafia’s founding members, Valerie Drasche-Wartinberg and Pilar Alfonso Rico, had the incredible opportunity to attend the Frontiers of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (#FIE) program at MIT Sloan School of Management, made possible thanks to the Fundación Rafael del Pino, who for the past 25 years, has been creating life-changing opportunities for talented individuals — and we’re so grateful to have been part of that legacy. Special thanks to Mercedes Delgado Vicente J. Montes Gan Carlota Taboada Villar Emilio J Castilla The #FIE program was a deep dive into innovation, entrepreneurship, deep tech, bioscience, physics, and much more. But what truly stood out was how all of it was approached — with humility, kindness, and a genuine commitment to making a difference. It wasn’t just about learning — it was about how to apply knowledge to tackle real-world challenges with purpose. A heartfelt thank you as well to all the inspiring participants we had the chance to learn from and connect with. Your energy, ideas, and spirit made this experience unforgettable. It’s something we’ll carry with us for life — and we’re eternally grateful.
