The Green Future Club is calling for entries to the Green Concept Award 2026, themed “Design the Future. Qualify. Be Seen.“.
The Award recognizes and supports the next generation of sustainable founders who want to make a contribution to climate change with their concepts. The award is aimed at young designers, start-ups and established companies.
The Green Concept Award, in cooperation with the IKEA Stiftung, honours students and young designers in particular for visionary concepts, supports them with the Green Cells program, shows them at exhibitions and supports them in their further development.
Beyond Imagination is the guiding principle here and the special project is the development of a sustainable and affordable capsule collection.
The awards are presented in the categories Architecture, Building Design, Consumer Goods, Fashion, Initiatives, Interior & Lifestyle, Kids, Kitchen, Mobility, New Materials, Packaging, Personal Care, Sport and Workspace for the best concept. There is the Green Product Award for solutions on the market already.
Participants appreciate the feedback from experts, the visibility, the large audience and the exchange at the annual event, which was most recently opened by the Swedish Ambassador at the Nordic Embassies in Berlin.
