We are meeting at a time of immense challenges to sustainable development. United Nations has introduced the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to change our world. The objective of the Agenda is to build a better future for all of us. These goals are universal and belong to us all: countries, cities, companies, schools, you and me. This is our common agenda.

To solve grand challenges we need multidisciplinary approaches, broad-minded thinking and bold boundary crossings. The science based competition and idea accelerator, Helsinki Challenge, is a platform for collaboration: science and arts communities, business, decision makers, public sector and other actors of the society – we all need to join the movement to make the goals for sustainable development reality. Through the Helsinki Challenge collaboration we can create solutions for grand challenges and for the future well-being – together!

Helsinki Challenge 2016-2017 themes are: Sustainable Planet, People in Change and Urban Future. For more information kindly check challenge.helsinki.fi 

Kindly submit the competition entry by November 15th, 2016.
