The Unilever Young Entrepreneurs Awards recognizes and supports brilliant young innovators tackling the planet’s biggest environmental and social challenges, and helping them to achieve scale for impact. From simple solutions with far-reaching impacts for child nutrition, to ground breaking technologies to cut greenhouse emissions, these changemakers are challenging business as usual and leading the way to a more sustainable future. So, if you are working on an innovative and scalable technology or initiative – or know someone who is – which is contributing to one or more of these eight (8) categories, then we want to hear from you:
- Zero Hunger,
- Good health and Wellbeing,
- Quality Education,
- Gender Equality,
- Clean water and Sanitation,
- Decent work and Economic growth,
- Responsible Consumption and Production,
- Climate Action
