What is a changemaker?

A changemaker senses that the world is moving and steps into it. You are a student, a recent graduate, or a young professional. You want to use your skills for something that really matters. You want to meet new people, gain real experience, and discover where you make a difference.

In the Green Business Challenge, you participate in a team that researches, builds, pitches, and delivers. You work with people who are also switched on. You feel that immediately.

What others say about the Green Business Challenge

I hadn't expected beforehand that the Green Business Challenge would provide such a networking boost. I worked directly with experts in the field and even landed a job! You build a network here in a short time that is truly useful. If you are looking for an entry into the green sector, this is it!

You work with a team on a client's problem. You research, brainstorm, test, refine, and pitch your outcome at the end of the Challenge.

Curiosity, motivation, and the will to help build are the most important. You will grow rapidly during the Challenge.

That depends on the edition. Some Challenges last two days, others continue longer.

Practical experience, a stronger network, a clearer view of your future, and a significant boost in self-confidence.

For students, recent graduates, and young professionals aged 18 to 30 who want to apply their skills to transition themes.
