Digital GreenTalents - High Potentials in Sustainable Development
An initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space
Artificial intelligence precisely sorts valuable raw materials, collection robots remove waste from the environment, or digital twins enable sustainable urban planning: The digital age now offers powerful tools like robotics to drive sustainable development!
The German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) sponsors the prestigious Award "Digital GreenTalents –High Potentials in Sustainable Development" to harness the vast potential of the digitally-driven era for GreenTech and CleanTech applications.
The award promotes the global exchange of innovative ideas with a focus on cutting-edge fields such as AI, advanced digital tools, and AI-driven robotics. It brings together outstanding young scientists and researchers from all over the world to develop forward-looking solutions for sustainable digital innovation. Moreover, it offers a unique opportunity for long-term cooperation with Germany’s vibrant Digital GreenTech community.
The competition is not only about what you do now, but also about what your aspirations are for the future. The award does not fund research projects, but aims to foster individual development. A high-level jury of German experts will help the ministry in selecting 20 High Potentials to be honoured as this year’s “Digital GreenTalents”.
Thank you very much for your excellent applications! The submission period is now closed.
Applicants will be informed of the jury’s decision at the end of September 2026. The winners will be announced online at the awards ceremony, which will take place in November 2026.
