We are a Platform for Impact

Our mission doesn’t end when the curtain goes down on the Awards Ceremony, or when our Winners receive their £1 million Prize. We go beyond that to help every Finalist speed their ground-breaking solutions to scale.

Our Fellowship | Our Platforms | Our Regional Impact

In just four years

Our growing database of global solutions gives us a unique insight into a movement of ‘climate creatives’ around the world, fixing the planet, one solution at a time.

Together, they help us to identify tipping points, as well as challenges that need more collective action.

We use our convening and matchmaking platforms to crowd in resources and partnerships to speed solutions to scale.

4,000Unique nominations received

80+Deals, partnerships, and projects brokered to support our Finalists

£77MIn funding, resources and pro-bono support catalysed together with our partners to accelerate our Finalists

The Fellowship: One-of-a-Kind Support

All 15 Finalists take part in our year-long Fellowship programme that empowers them to breakthrough to scale. With the support of our Global Alliance of Partners and leading experts, we bring together world-leading minds to give to for a series of events that give our Finalists the tailored support they need to make their solutions thrive.

We create impact for Finalists in three ways:

    1. Leadership: We equip Finalists with the tools, skills and confidence they need to lead their organizations to scale
    2. Growth: We turbocharge Finalists’ growth by catalysing funding, partnerships, and customer deals
    3. Spotlighting: We shine a global spotlight on their solutions through films, speaking engagements, press features, and high-impact events, giving them the visibility they need to succeed

This programme ensures that our Finalists are ready for anything: ready to connect with key scaling partners, investors, and global leaders; ready to take their solution to the world; ready to make the most of every opportunity.

 

Once an Earthshot Finalist, always an Earthshot Finalist

We make a long-lasting commitment to our Finalists because we know that success doesn’t happen overnight. To date, 45 alumni continue to be supported by The Earthshot Prize. They have built strong peer-to-peer support with each other, and now act as mentors to the incoming cohorts.

Our Platforms: Scaling Solutions at Speed

Our 15 Finalists aren’t the only incredible solutions we find. Each year, we see hundreds that, if scaled, could have huge potential to repair and regenerate our planet. We have two platforms that spotlight and support these solutions:

Launchpad

Launchpad is our innovative online matchmaking platform that brings together a huge community of investors and philanthropists with the capital required to scale environmental solutions.

Launchpad allows us to share the best solutions that have come through our robust nominations process with partners that are ready to support their growth. Each solution’s current funding needs are clearly detailed, allowing interested investors and philanthropists to browse and discover potential matches.

Earthshot+

Earthshot+ is about making bold conversations happen. At key events throughout the year, we hold a day of action-led conversations, aimed at multiplying the impact of The Earthshot Prize.

Instead of focusing on individual solutions, Earthshot+ looks at the bigger picture. It looks at ways of scaling entire sectors and systems and identifying the tipping points that could help us overcome the biggest challenges facing the planet.

By leveraging the insights from our Finalists and our 1000s of nominations, we can identify key tipping points that need new approaches. Then we bring together the people who can courageously collaborate to speed sector change to scale.

Building an Earthshot community of support

The work continues well beyond the Awards night. Our partnerships with local nominators, experts, accelerators, universities, philanthropists, impact investors, VC’s and corporations, alongside policy makers to ensure the Earthshot movement continues in-country, and in-region.

To date, we have built three regional impact partnerships in the countries hosting our Awards, supporting the long-term building of vibrant environmental innovation ecosystems that nurture and scale future Earthshot nominees.
