The non-profit H&M Foundation launched the Global Change Award back in 2015 with a vision to accelerate the process of creating a sustainable future for fashion and textile, and thereby protect our planet.
It has been called the Nobel Prize of fashion is one of the biggest innovations challenges in the world for early stage innovation. The Global Change Award is a part of transforming fashion and turning the entire industry planet positive.
Every year we invite innovators and entrepreneurs from all over the world to submit their early stage ideas on how to improve the sustainable footprint of the fashion and textile industry. The five most promising innovations share a grant of 1 million euros and participate in a one-year tailor-made GCA Impact Accelerator programme, provided by the H&M Foundation in partnership with Accenture, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the Mills Fabrica.
