The Earth Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in Geneva, Switzerland, is dedicated to inspiring, mentoring, and empowering students and young entrepreneurs to address environmental challenges with innovative ideas. Our flagship initiatives, The Earth Prize and The Earth Foundation Alliance, are designed to foster an ecosystem that accelerates positive change toward environmental sustainability.
The Earth Prize, the world’s largest environmental competition and 'ideas incubator' for young people, has seen participation from over 10,000 applicants in over 150 countries during its first three annual editions. Applicants are provided with all the tools they need to develop their eco solutions for real life impact, including 1:1 mentoring, learning resources and funding to scale up. Teams have invented pioneering tech-based solutions like flooding warning systems, to unique physical inventions like banana-based eco diapers.
