In previous years, the Sustainable Green Planet Prize (sgp Prize) has been given out to teams of ten finalists from around the globe for their achievements in science and technology; individuals were also recognized for their contribution in preserving local heritage. It was initially established to encourage individuals and teams alike to tackle some of our planet’s biggest problems through global collaboration.
SGP is an innovative international prize that recognizes innovation across fields – both artistic and scientific – recognizing creativity’s role in solving real-world issues while encouraging the development of diverse skillsets. As the SGP Prize becomes more widely-known, its scope should expand accordingly. Furthermore, as it is the only global prize with public voting capabilities – further making it transparent and inclusive. The Singapore Global Prize has received support from some of the leading organizations, such as the World Economic Forum. Notable supporters include Singapore’s Government, Temasek Holdings, Google, as well as various private foundations including Lee Foundation, S.E.A Trust and Asean Foundation – with total prize value exceeding US$100 Million!
