Green Future Pitches

Green Future Club: Concept Support

The Green Future Club is committed to a future where all products are sustainable. Our mission is to bring together the best people to accelerate the sustainable development of materials, products and services. As part of our Concept Support program supported by IKEA Stiftung, young designers learn how to create green products and services with business cases. Through our Sustainable Business Model Design toolkit, we guide creators through a step-by-step process from idea to a pitch presentation. Secure a limited brunch spot or join virtually to connect with our Green Concept Award 2021 student winners and nominees and hear firsthand their outcomes in the form of pitch sessions.
