- Conclusion
Focus on the Grand Prix Impact The Grand Prix Impact is supported by the Ministries of Ecological and Energy Transitions and Territories. in connection with the Greentech Innovation initiative led by the CGDD’s Ecolab.
This national event was created at the initiative of the World Impact Summit, an international summit of positive impact solutions, to accelerate the ecological transition and its impact in a concrete way!
The winners will be eligible for a total grant of €250,000; through qualified meetings with public buyers and companies seeking solutions; and through meetings with parliamentarians to discuss the regulatory or legal obstacles to the deployment of high-impact solutions.
- The Grand Prix Impact, a label of excellence, will identify 400 solutions: they will be listed in the Catalog of 400 solutions to accelerate the ecological transition, intended for decision-makers. It will be awarded to ministerial offices, parliamentarians, and executives from major regions and the 10 main French metropolitan areas, as well as to companies from the SBF 120 and the main French mid-cap companies. We also have the National Purchasing Council as a relay partner, which will distribute this catalog to its 20,000 members.
