About the Grant
The Greenprint GET Breakthrough Innovation Award 2027 is an award category recognising startups whose innovations are reshaping green economy ecosystems. The award focuses on solutions that address systemic bottlenecks, create shared capabilities or markets, and enable progress beyond the success of an individual enterprise. It is part of the Green Ecosystem Transformation (GET) Awards, presented in partnership with the CEEW Green Economy Council. The initiative aims to highlight scalable innovations that contribute to broader climate and sustainability transformation in India. Selected award recipients receive recognition and opportunities for visibility, mentorship, networking and strategic engagement through The Greenprint platform.
