The Edupro Global Green Talent Awards (GTA) 2026, organised by UK-based awarding organisation Edupro in strategic partnership with the University of Leeds, will hold its grand finale on Thursday (November 26) at the university campus in the United Kingdom.
The ceremony will take place in a hybrid format from 5PM to 8PM UK time at Room 1.01 of the Esther Simpson Building, bringing together young innovators, academics, global investors and policymakers working on environmental sustainability.
The second edition of the competition has drawn 313 teams, 1,229 students and 251 mentors from 224 institutions across 30 countries, according to a press release.
Following three rounds of competitive selection, including a Business Simulation Challenge focusing on environmental, social and governance (ESG) leadership, finalists have emerged from seven countries: Algeria, Australia, Bangladesh, Jordan, Malaysia, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
Bangladeshi teams have secured positions among the global finalists, demonstrating their capabilities in technological innovation and sustainable development. Among the notable teams are Changemakers and Vortex, which progressed through different case-study milestones, commercial feasibility assessments and ESG simulation exercises to reach the final stage.
The competition's submissions are being evaluated by an international jury comprising 33 experts from global academic institutions, financial organisations, intergovernmental ESG bodies and businesses. The panel also includes distinguished individuals of Bangladeshi origin, although the press release does not provide their names or professional details.
Organised around five key themes—Circular Economy and Zero Waste, Clean Energy and Climate Solutions, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Green Business and Finance, and Sustainability Education and Behaviour Change—the competition is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13.
The competition invites participants aged 16 to 32 to develop solutions that combine measurable environmental and social benefits with financial viability, aiming to nurture the next generation of ethical and environmentally conscious leaders.
