The Green Changemakers Challenge

[OFFICIO e Ambiente - Inovar]

Ashoka and HSBC are launching the ‘Green Changemakers Challenge', "a global innovation challenge open to changemakers with solutions that are equipping others with the mindset and capabilities to contribute towards building a sustainable and equitable world.

The threats facing our planet are gaining pace, and we find ourselves racing towards an ecological crisis. This is a collective challenge, and to truly create change, we need more than individual solution-builders – we need green changemakers who are catalyzing those around them to also take action; we need solutions that are activating others and creating a role for everyone to contribute as problem-solvers.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. Your venture must be at an early- or mid- stage. Late-stage ventures (over 6 years of operations and/or profitability) will not be eligible for selection in this challenge

2. You must be 18 or above at the time of submitting this application.

3. If your solution has not been implemented at scale; you must have a clear business plan and a minimum-viable solution (prototype, pilot, or another proof of concept).

4. If your venture is not incorporated yet (as a non-profit, for-profit, or hybrid organization); you must be close to incorporation in the near future.

5. Focus areas:

a) Creating inclusive pathways for people to contribute;

b) Turning data and information into stories that spark action;

c) Creating structures of support for existing solutions;

6. Entries will only be accepted in English and winners will be expected to engage in activities that require English proficiency;

7. Only one application per individual/venture will be accepted.

Winning applications will:

• Receive a minimum $15,000 and up to $25,000 cash prize;

• Have the opportunity to participate in a learning journey & mentoring programme alongside HSBC and Ashoka team members, to help scale your solution.

Final entry deadline: April 26, 2023 At 5pm UTC."
