Hello, my name is Maria Pereira and I am the Finance Director of Extinctus Enterprise. Extinctus Enterprise is a company that was founded in the past October of 2017 as a result of the devastating fires that spread throughout Portugal. These fires inspired me and my fellow teammates: Ta?s Fran?a (Human Resources Director), Margarida Machado (Operations Director), Diogo Vale (President) and Matilde Mendes (Marketing Director) to develop the Ignis Capsule. The Ignis Capsule is an underground device that prevents the propagation of forest fires. In case of fire it detects an increase in temperature and transmits the data collected to our mobile app available to the nearest fire department system. We started this idea in the Junior Achievement competition and ended up representing Portugal in the Company of the Year Competition in 2018 in Serbia where we were distinguished with the AT&T Excellence in IT Award.

After working as a journalist for 7 years, actively volunteering for Anna Hazare movement since its inception and leading ground campaigns for the Aam Aadmi Party till 2015, I realised that corruption is not the biggest problem.

My experience as an activist made me realise that if you really want to bring a change at the mass level, you have to involve the masses. And, money is something that binds everyone. So, any big change has to be connected around money. So, Ecoplore is a social entrepreneurship that aims to limit the environmental damage by reducing the construction of ugly concrete buildings and increasing the no of eco-stays. As a journalist, I started my career at CNN-IBN, then moved to ?Headlines Today?, then worked with a Japanese news agency and with a renowned French photographer on a photo book on Delhi NCR.
