Today, we have the power to remake how institutions operate, raise standards of living, provide for new and unparalleled opportunities, and empower people to pursue a world that is more sustainable, just, and peaceful.
Network 20/20 and The Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP) created The Innovators Awards in Global Affairs to recognize, honor & promote those who are tackling global challenges with innovative, creative, and effective approaches.
Do you work for or know of a rock-star organization making changes? We are looking for top-rate nominees in the following categories:
1) Environment
2) Humanitarian Aid
3) Security and Defense
4) Finance Inclusion*
5) Communications and Civic Engagement
Candidate organization will need to:
- Operate in one of the sectors that is being awarded to have a measurable track-recoded of success, or tangible potential

- Be engaged in work that has the potential to achieve impact beyond the company’s local jurisdiction, even if the effort originated locally
- Have a physical or virtual product or provide an innovative process

The winners will be honored at a cocktail-style awards ceremony hosted by BNP Paribas in New York for approximately 100 industry leaders, civil society groups, and others.
