Closing Date: August 22,2011:

The SEED Awards for Entrepreneurship in Sustainable Development is an annual awards scheme designed to find the most promising, innovative and locally led start-up social and environmental entrepreneurs in countries with developing and emerging economies. An international jury of experts selects enterprises which have the potential to make real improvements in poverty eradication and environmental sustainability while contributing to a greener economy.

Do you have an entrepreneurial and innovative idea that is locally-driven and has great potential to contribute to sustainable development in countries with developing or transition economies? Does your initiative also advance gender equality and/or women’s empowerment within your initiative or in the community?

If you meet SEED’s eligibility criteria, you can now apply for the 2011 SEED Awards for entrepreneurship in sustainable development and for the 2011 SEED Gender Equality Award.
