The search for the next Winners of The Earthshot Prize 2025 has begun and the 2050 Innovation Hub at the Port of Tyne is an Official Nominator. We strongly suggest that any clients and other relevant technology companies in Greenbackers Investment Capital’s network apply to it.
Launched in 2020 by Prince William and Sir David Attenborough, The Earthshot Prize is an ambitious global prize and platform for impact, designed to discover, celebrate and scale the best solutions to help repair our planet. Find out more about past Winners and Finalists here.
As an Official Nominator, 2050 Innovation Hub have been invited to submit nominations, selected for their ability to identify impactful solutions across all sectors, from grassroots to businesses. They will be nominating individuals, communities, businesses and organisations from any sector whose solutions make the most progress towards achieving the five Earthshots will improve life for us all and for generations to come.
The Earthshot Prize will consider solutions which make tangible progress towards one of the five Earthshots. They should be beyond idea stage, have tested their solution in-field or with target audiences, and are at a ‘tipping point’ for scaling their impact within the next five years.
The Earthshots are:
- Protect and Restore Nature
- Clean our Air
- Revive our Oceans
- Build a Waste-Free World
- Fix our Climate
If you have a solution that is inspiring, inclusive and impactful, please get in touch with Dr. Jo North of the 2050 Maritime Innovation Hub at Port of Tyne for a further discussion at jo.[email protected]. Please put “Earthshot – Greenbackers suggested we apply” in the subject line of your email.
You can find out more about the Prize, 2050 Innovation Hub’s role as an Official Nominator, and the process to selecting Winners at www.earthshotprize.org.
After nominations are submitted, they are screened as part of a rigorous assessment process culminating in the selection of five Winners by the Earthshot Prize Council.
Finalists and Winners are given an incredible platform to amplify their work, as well as tailored support from The Earthshot Prize and our network of NGOs, businesses, governments, funders and expert mentors.
The five Winners also receive a one-of-a-kind award and a one-million-pound grant to scale their impact. The Earthshot Prize also celebrates and accelerates hundreds more innovators and their solutions beyond the Finalists through their innovative finance platform LaunchPad and other initiatives.
