Community Voting
Support ideas that could change the world with just one online vote.
Young people around the world have spent two months building ideas that could solve the most pressing issues of our time, as part of the Social Impact Award program. From transforming the healthcare system to revolutionizing the farming industry, their solutions cover all aspects of society.
Each team have made a short video presenting their solution. Now, it’s your turn to watch the videos and vote for your favorite in each country. The ventures with the most votes receive money and support to take their idea to the next level.
