H&M Foundation Global Change Award 2025 (€200,000 prize)

Nominations are open for the H&M Foundation Global Change Award 2025. They are looking for changemakers who can help decarbonise fashion. The aim is to propel the textile industry towards net-zero emissions by accelerating innovation that benefits both people and the planet. Their vision is to spark industry-wide transformation towards a socially inclusive and planet positive future.

The H&M Foundation launched the Global Change Award – called The Nobel Prize of Fashion – as the first innovation challenge of its kind in 2015. Since then, 46 innovations have received support and a combined grant of 8 million euros from the Global Change Award. And the grant is just one perk of winning the Global Change Award.
