Your platform for global recognition

Voting

The process begins with a global call for applications from organizations making significant contributions towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After receiving applications, our expert panel shortlists the best 10 applicants for each SDG category based on criteria like innovation, impact, and sustainability. These finalists then provide detailed information about their projects. A public voting phase follows, allowing the community to support their favorite initiatives. The final winners are determined through a combined evaluation of expert assessments and public votes.

To be considered for the EU Tech SDG Awards, meticulously complete each section of the application form. All sections and questions are compulsory, except for those marked as ‘optional.’

Incomplete applications will not be evaluated by the selection committee. For a robust submission, provide compelling supporting evidence, including photos, videos, and endorsements from participants in your initiative.

 The final winners are determined through a combined evaluation of expert assessments and public votes.
