A young Mexican entrepreneur’s innovations in mobile apps and women’s empowerment are being recognized internationally.

Ángel Carrillo is a 23-year-old engineer who specializes in strategic information systems and is currently part of the tech support department of Tlaxcala’s State Center for Emergencies.

His line of work, and the birth of his first son 18 months ago, shifted Carrillo’s perspective: “My wife and child made me reframe my priorities. I am worried for their safety. This propelled me to focus on projects that would contribute, and give something back to society.”

With that new focus, Carrillo developed Neuroapp Suces, a mobile app that can send a distress message and geolocalization data at the press of a single button, something that could make all the difference for domestic violence or kidnapping victims.

The app was originally intended for women in distress. Carrillo wanted to use modern technology to help women to feel — and be — more safe but due to its characteristics, NeuroappSuces can be used by anyone.
