Global Change Awards

A bunch of 10 innovators, with the shared mission of decarbonising the textile and fashion industry, has won the Global Change Award for 2025 for their bold and pioneering ideas, who, as changemakers, are tackling some of fashion’s most urgent challenges: from reducing emissions and energy use, to enabling circularity and cleaner materials.

In a major update, the Global Change Award and its Changemaker Programme will now back a wider range of changemakers with early-stage innovations and, in a departure from an open application system, it will operate a nomination-based process. A total of 10 winners stand to receive €200,000 each.

The 2023 edition of the Global Change Award has a total of 10 winners and will share a €2 million grant from nonprofit H&M Foundation. The grant has been doubled.

The Global Change Award (GCA), which seeks to transform fashion and turn the entire industry planet-positive, has started accepting applications for the 2022 edition. For GCA 2023, the organisers have updated the scope to cover more ground, raise the bar on innovation and help shift the industry into a planet positive one.

The next round of Global Change Award (GCA) that opens 20 October for 2023, the GCA is looking for five winning teams who will share a grant of €1 million for solutions that steer the textile-fashion industry towards circularity, work out innovative solutions enabling growth within planetary boundaries. and something pathbreaking not "even thought about yet." texfash.com brings the details.

The H&M Foundation has announced its winners for the 2022 Global Change Awards (GCA).
