ONE CREATION Environmental Innovation Awards

Since 2010, the board of ONE CREATION has been successfully financing growth-stage private companies through its private equity allocation in environmental innovation. With the establishment of the Environment Innovation Awards, the One Creation board aims to support young companies in their early stages and to integrate them into the alumni community. The award provides a total amount of CHF 45’000 to three companies at an earlier development stage than it would normally consider for its portfolio.  

After the first selection round, 15 startups will proceed to the next level to compete for one of the three winners’ spots. Besides the cash prize, they will also get visibility. The award ceremony will take place at the next Building Bridges event in Geneva.
