2019 Google Cloud and SAP Circular Economy 2030 Contest for Social Entrepreneurs

Deadline: March 17, 2019.

In 2018, global demand for resources was 1.7 times what the earth can support in one year and is only expected to rise.1 Google Cloud and SAP are coming together to help address this challenge and host a social entrepreneurship contest for a sustainable future.If you believe business can catalyze positive change, this is your opportunity to spark a sustainable revolution.

In 2015, the United Nations established the 2030 Agenda that’s comprised of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each goal proposes how people and the planet can prosper together. Our contest focuses on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, which includes establishing green jobs, promoting resource regeneration, and building a circular economy by 2030.
