Our nominators

We’re proud to present our GCA nominators – a diverse group helping us find the most outstanding early-stage changemakers working to transform the textile industry.

By engaging actors across universities, research institutes, government organisations, non-profits, brands, suppliers, accelerators, incubators, industry associations, GCA alumni and more, we aim to identify a broad and bold mix of innovators. This extensive global network helps us expand the GCA ecosystem and increase our impact.

Once nominated, changemakers are invited to apply. Their ideas are then reviewed by the H&M Foundation and a panel of experts in technology, business, fashion and sustainability – who work together to help select the final winners.

The GCA nominators are helping us to find our next co-hort of winners. In the image, the winners of GCA 2022 have gathered in Stockholm.

These are some of our nominators
