Social Business Hub Styria Idea-Call

Every year, we look for ideas and sustainable concepts that, at the core of their activities, contribute to addressing societal or ecological challenges. The focus is on innovative approaches that are fundamentally new or have not yet been implemented in Styria – and thus also represent added value for the Styrian regions. The range of categories is wide: from projects in the fields of education and training or society and coexistence to topics dealing with climate protection, sustainable agriculture and resource conservation. Innovations from the fields of “Tech for Good” and economic development are also awaited. Everything that has an impact on a better future can be submitted.

The competition is open to individuals aged 18 and over, businesses, and non-profit organizations. There is a separate prize for the youth category starting from 14 years old.

You can find further information, current deadlines and the submission form on the German‑language website of Social Business Hub Styria.
