New for 2025! Innovation Zero's Impact Acceleration Award 

At Innovation Zero, our mission is to accelerate a just global transition to a low carbon economy. As part of this commitment, we’ve created the Impact Acceleration Award, introduced for 2025, to provide one exceptional start-up with an unparalleled opportunity to scale their visibility and growth. 

This award offers an enhanced marketing package worth £30,000 at the Innovation Zero World Congress 2026 and a chance to showcase their potential on a global stage. While we cannot extend this level of opportunity to all winners, our new award combines an open vote within our community and a focus on how finalists justify their need for this support. Winners will be judged entirely on their ability to articulate how they would benefit from an enhanced marketing presence at our 2026 show. 

How It Works: 

  • Selected from the 12 category winners across our six existing awards. 

  • Finalists will submit dynamic elevator pitches, demonstrating how they’d leverage this partnership to amplify their growth. 

  • These pitches will be shared for a popular vote, giving our audience a voice in the process. 

  • The final selection will be made by the Innovation Zero Awards Steering Committee, focusing on alignment with our mission to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. 

This is more than just an award – it’s a launchpad for transformative growth and long-term success. Stand out and scale up at Innovation Zero World 2026.
