2019 Social Innovation Tournament: A Great Opportunity to Win Up to EUR 50 000

Kubota Fund: Accepting Applications for 2022-23 Grant Program

Deadline: 7 March 2019

Best European Social Entrepreneur are invited to apply for the 2019 Social Innovation Tournament.

This tournament is organised in a different country every year to reward and sponsor European entrepreneurs whose primary purpose is to generate a social, ethical or environmental impact.

Projects are typically related to combating unemployment, marginalisation of disadvantaged communities and promoting access to education in a wide range of fields, from education and health care to the natural or urban environment, using new technologies, new systems, and new processes.

The tournament runs in two rounds. A selection committee, comprised mainly of EIB Group experts in innovation, the environment, and other relevant disciplines, selects 15 finalists. The finalists are invited to a mentoring bootcamp to provide them with the necessary guidance to finalise their proposals. At the final event, all the finalists have to present and defend their project to a jury of social innovation specialists.
