THE Herald and Innovators Magazine have joined forces to bring the Global Game Changers Awards back for a second year.
Ten categories are available to enter in the awards which recognise and reward innovation and sustainability across all business sectors at an international level, and support the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Circular Glasgow is supporting the Circular Breakthrough category. Alison McRae, senior director at Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, who is also a judge, said: “Entrants should demonstrate how their product or services help to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy, establishing a more sustainable way of doing business.”
The Young Pioneers award is supported by ScottishPower. Barry Carruthers, head of innovation, sustainability and quality, commented: “In the Young Pioneers Award, we hope to recognise the great innovations and personal dedication shown by those who also wish to strive to make significant positive change in our world.”
David Coyne, judge and programme director at the Centre for Work-based Learning which is supporting the Innovating in STEM Education/Training award, commented: “STEM education is crucial for preparing people with the skills and tools they need to thrive in the fourth industrial revolution.”
Meanwhile, the Empowering Intrapreneurship award is supported by City of Glasgow College. Douglas Morrison, STEM and innovation lead, said: “The Global Game Changer Award for Empowering Intrapreneurship seeks to celebrate the efforts of change makers who are driving economic value, social benefit and inclusive growth through improvements in workplace culture, processes and facilities.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
