The H&M Foundation announced the winners of their Global Change Award on 20th May. Ten early-stage innovations are tackling some of the fashion industry’s toughest challenges—from cutting emissions in production to recycling complex blends and making materials from waste.
“One innovation alone won’t fix fashion; we need to shake the foundations and innovate how we innovate. That’s why we back bold thinkers at the very start of their journeys.
These changemakers aren’t just solving problems; they’re challenging outdated systems and showing us what a new future could look like”, says Annie Lindmark, Programme Director at H&M Foundation.
Each changemaker receives a €200,000 grant and joins a yearlong Changemaker programme, backed by H&M Foundation and our partners Accenture, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and The Mills Fabrica.
