Description
1) Objective
The Global Change Award was initiated 2015 by non-profit H&M Foundation, to catalyse early stage innovations that can accelerate the shift from a linear to a planet positive fashion industry. The aim is to protect the planet and our living conditions. Neither H&M Foundation nor H&M Group take any equity or intellectual property rights in the innovations. The H&M Foundation’s overall aim is to accelerate the progress needed to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
At the early stage, the idea has not yet been proven. It can still be only a drawing on a piece of paper. This stage is very critical and where many start-ups fail, due to lack of funding, market knowledge or perhaps because the team isn’t right. They are certain there are a vast number of great ideas out there but access to capital, know-how and support is scarce and many great ideas never get to see the light of day. The H&M Foundation wants to find these ideas and give them the support needed to make a difference. It is at this earliest stage where the non-profit H&M Foundation can provide the much-needed resources, access and skills and thereby make the biggest difference.
2) Eligibility
Innovation knows no national borders and we believe these early stage ideas can come from anyone, anywhere. Therefore, to reach as many great minds as possible the challenge is open to any individual and groups of up to four people over 18 years of age anywhere in the world. It is also open for institutions, organisations and social businesses, as well as for joint ventures, consortiums and other types of partnerships.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Five winners share a €1,000,000 grant and get access to the one-year GCA Impact Accelerator, designed to make ideas scale at speed.
5) Application
Application is open at globalchangeaward.com/apply until 8 December 2022.
