FastCompany’s World Changing Ideas Awards

Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards honours products, concepts, companies, and policies that are designed to make the world safer, cleaner, more sustainable, and more equitable. The contest has recognised everything from a solar-powered refrigerator to a thermal battery to a program that helps renters build their credit history.

The awards will be considering every application and creating a list of the most compelling entries—along with a few categories offering chances for additional recognition for companies excelling in specific locations, sectors, and years in business - to create a single list of the top World Changing Ideas entries.

In all applications, they are looking for creative, surprising projects that have launched in the past year and are committed to tackling the most pressing issues of our time. Entries will be judged by a group of Fast Company editors and reporters on their impact, sustainability, design, creativity, and scalability.

All finalists and winners will be listed on
