Haroldo Jacobovicz is not just a seasoned investor, entrepreneur, and civil engineer; he is also a remarkable philanthropist of our time. After spending more than three decades in the tech industry, Jacobovicz has decided to focus his efforts on Curitiba community through the Haroldo Jacobovicz Institute (IHJ). Set to be established in 2021, IHJ is poised to carry on the legacy of the Brazilian techpreneur.
The charitable institution will target special interest groups and organizations, such as nursing homes, cancer institutions, and establishments that care for the people living with disabilities or struggling with homelessness. Besides supporting such groups and organizations, the institution will also finance animal protection agencies and hospitals with generous donations to enhance the social wellbeing of vulnerable communities.

To ensure IHJ takes off from the right foot, Haroldo Jacobovicz will be in charge of its operations while his wife will be the vice president. The techpreneur’s two daughters will be in charge of legal and administrative affairs. IHJ rides on the philosophy of long-term relations with the communities it supports and intends to be a partner on an ongoing basis instead of offering one-off help. The team seeks to reach 20 beneficiary organizations by 2022.
While steering these philanthropic actions, Jacobovicz hopes to integrate them with innovation, technology, and education-centered projects that empower societies. He borrows this philanthropic demeanor from his parents who since his childhood, have continued to make significant value addition to their local communities. In fact, the entrepreneur intends to pass this culture to his daughters and grandchildren.
Being the founder of Horizons Telecom, Haroldo Jacobovicz has strived to cultivate and nurture a culture of caring for other members of the community beyond his team. As a result, his tech firm has remained committed to providing transformation-oriented tech solutions that prioritize societal development.
