To celebrate the trailblazers spearheading this transformation, Mission Innovation’s Net-Zero Industries Mission established the Net-Zero Industries Award as the first global competition for outstanding work on industrial decarbonisation.

  • Outstanding Projects
  • Female Innovators
  • Young Talents

The Special Prize for International Advancement in Industrial Decarbonisation not only celebrates achievements but also catalyses collaboration, knowledge sharing, and policy alignment.
