Apply Now: Global Awards for Private Sector Innovators

IFC and the Financial Times are calling for applications for the 2022 Transformational Business Awards, a leading global initiative that promotes innovative and impactful private sector solutions to major development challenges.

There are five categories—with climate change and human capital/health particularly relevant to TechEmerge partners, along with a New Frontiers category for deep tech solutions.

Two other award categories focus on gender-lens financing and impact investing.

To enter, private sector companies must have annual revenues of at least US$3 million or a capital base of at least US$5 million. However, smaller companies can enter the New Frontiers category if they have the potential, with additional funding, to make a transformational impact on development challenges.

Don’t delay – entries close on July 31, 2022. Further details are available here.
