For the seventh time, the German Sustainability Award Foundation, in cooperation with the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), is presenting the Next Economy Award. The award recognizes companies and organizations that, with their growth-oriented ideas, provide answers to the social and ecological questions of our time – and, where appropriate, are already responding to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The Next Economy Award aims to support green founders and social enterprises, provide impetus for sustainability-oriented startups, and shape role models. The award aims to promote pioneers and strengthen and accelerate the overall transformation to the "next," more sustainable economy. Companies and organizations founded in the last five years that are driving social and ecological transformation with innovative business models were eligible to apply.
Interested parties can vote for their favorite finalists in a public vote until December 1. The public vote and the live pitches before the expert jury will determine this year's winners.
