The Green Concept Award is aimed at students, start-ups and established companies, honoring concepts of sustainable materials, products and services that are not yet on the market.
Through the cooperation with the IKEA Stiftung, students & graduates are supported by free participation, interim feedback, communication assistance & matchmaking. Young designers are introduced to Green Future Club’s 8-step toolkit on sustainable product and service development and are guided through creating successful green business models during frequent workshops and Q&A sessions.
Outstanding student nominees will be given the opportunity to exhibit free of charge throughout the year on various German and international trade fairs and have one-on-one guidance on how to bring their solutions to the market and get acquainted with green entrepreneurs within our network.
The award is presented in twelve categories: Architecture & Tiny Houses, Building Components, New Materials, Consumer Goods, Fashion, Handicraft, Interior & Lifestyle, Kids, Kitchen, Mobility, Sport and Workspace are the areas in which products and services can be presented and will be judged.
An award will be given to the entries that make a special contribution to a sustainable lifestyle.
