Opportunity Details
The Mills Fabrica is once again a nominator for the Global Change Award 2026 - and the official entry point for changemakers who want to submit a proposal for potential nomination. As a contributing partner to the H&M Foundation's Global Change Award, we are excited to see which changemakers will help drive the textile industry towards net-zero emissions.
Every year, 10 winners will be awarded. Winning this prestigious award grants access to three key components:
1. A yearlong Changemaker Programme
As a winner you get access to the Changemaker Programme, designed together with GCA's strategic partners Accenture and KTH Royal Institute of Technology and contributing partner The Mills Fabrica. It includes three immersive in-person weeks, expert sessions, and an extensive peer network.
2. €200,000 grant and global recognition
Each winner receives a €200,000 grant, with no strings attached. You are free to collaborate with whoever you want – GCA exists to drive transformation for the entire industry. You’ll be celebrated at the iconic Stockholm City Hall, home of the Nobel Prize banquet, and introduced to the textile industry on a global stage.
3. Access to the industry and the GCA community
You’ll gain access to GCA's ever-growing, vibrant community of changemakers, researchers, brands, suppliers, investors and more. We actively facilitate connections across the value chain to help you test, grow and scale your solution.
