We are counting on you! Why?

Latest News on climate change send a clear message: It’s time to act! Not only for civil society and politics, but also for the economy. We at Landbell Group believe that there is another route towards a world without waste. That’s why with the Green Alley Award we celebrate those businesses that are actually working towards a change – with a smart business idea, with a truly ecological product, with a digital tool or green technology enabling a circular economy. It’s the entrepreneurial spirit we are counting on to save the world of tomorrow.

For the eighth time this year, we are eager to learn which ingenious solutions the entrepreneurial world has in store for us. And we are pleased to reward this courage for innovation: Applications for the Green Alley Award 2022 are open now! Startups sending their pitch deck before 23rd November 2021 get the chance to win €25,000 and valuable business contacts!

Who we are looking for

Do you want to put a stop to the linear economy with its “take, make, dispose” principle? Great! We welcome startups in their early and growth stages no older than 5 years. Your business based in Europe should engage in waste prevention, recycling or digital technologies.

What to do and when

The Green Alley Award application phase starts on 14th September and ends on 23rd November 2021. Simply visit our apply page and upload your pitch deck. To maximize your chances, make sure your pitch deck follows our guidelines.

A pre-selected number of startups will be put on our website for a public vote. The startup with the majority of the votes will be automatically amongst the six finalists. The remaining five will be selected by our expert committee.

On 28th April 2022 the six finalists will be invited to Berlin, where they will meet circular economy and startup experts in working sessions. In the evening each of the finalists will have the chance to pitch their idea live on stage. An international jury elects the winner who will receive 25.000 Euros.
