Take Part in the Sustainability Innovation Challenge 2026

On Saturday 26 September 2026, the Sustainability Innovation Challenge 2026 will take place at Accenture’s offices in Zurich. Are you aged between 16 and 25, passionate about sustainability, and keen to put your ideas to the test in tackling real-world challenges? Then this event is for you.

The day kicks off with a get-together breakfast and inspiring talks by industry experts, before the real work begins: you’ll have four hours to turn your ideas into a winning solution, which you’ll then present to a panel of experts.

What if you win?

The team presenting the most convincing solution will win CHF 2,000 sponsored by Accenture, which is participating in the programme as a partner to help the winners further develop their idea.

Last year, the «GrüezAI» team came out on top with an app dedicated to intergenerational housing solutions.
