Summit and Award Ceremony cancelled

Due to the escalation of the Corona virus (COVID-19) outbreaks and international travel restrictions we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Global Change Award Summit and the Award Ceremony in Stockholm on 1 April 2020.

It has been an emotional and tough call to make. The Global Change Award is such a fantastic way to celebrate our new winners, and it gathers so many great stakeholders in the same room to discuss circularity and innovation for a sustainable fashion future. However, the health and safety of our guests, winners, partners, employees and other stakeholders is of our highest concern.

The five winners of Global Change Award 2020 will still be announced on April 1, because innovation for our planet can’t wait! But this year, the crowning has to be done without a traditional Award Ceremony. We will still do our utmost to spread the word about our truly inspiring and clever winners and their ground-breaking innovations globally – and we need your help.

It’s crucial for the innovators to be acknowledged and embark on their Accelerator Program to take their ideas to the next level and maximize their impact on the industry. Please join us in supporting them! Come back and check the results on April 1 and follow us and share in social media.
