GCA2022: Reinventing Fashion

GCA 2022: INNOVATION TODAY, REALITY TOMORROW
Impossible materials, ground-breaking recycling techniques and disruptive supply chain solutions. The Global Change Award is a part of transforming fashion and turning the entire industry planet positive.
After winning the GCA, the teams split a 1 million euro grant and venture into a year-long GCA Impact Accelerator programme created by H&M Foundation, Accenture, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and The Mills Fabrica. A programme that is tailored to meet the needs of each team and help them develop and scale their innovations for impact. After the year is up, the winners move to the GCA Alumni network, where they join over 30 incredible, talented and dedicated teams who meet regularly to collaborate and share tips and insights.
Paving the way to a planet positive future
The H&M Foundation launched the Global Change Award to transform fashion and make it planet positive. That means becoming an industry that benefits the planet and its global commons instead of harming it and depleting its resources. Innovation has the power to do it, and previous GCA winners prove it. Already, several past winners are used by, or in collaborations with, global brands and businesses to transform the fashion industry.
Neither H&M Foundation or H&M Group take any shareholder equity or intellectual property rights in the innovations. The winners can collaborate with whomever they want, the aim is to find innovations that allow major change for the entire industry.
