Bright is recognized for uniting the strongest elements of entrepreneurship, invention, and social activism.

Raquel Paiva Serôa da Motta is passionate about food sustainability and participated in the TIAS Executive MBA in order to learn more about the business perspective. As a capstone in the final part of the EMBA program, she developed a business model for a food surplus start-up, focused on Brazil. She joined hands with another entrepreneur based in the capital of Brazil and co-founded Food Flow, an early-stage start-up for fighting food waste.
