Promotion of sustainable digitization

The MWCapital Awards underline the goal of promoting technological solutions that have both social and ecological effects. They are based on the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the goals for sustainable development (SDGS) that aim to cope with economic, social and ecological challenges.

In order to achieve the goals of sustainable digitization, technologies must be designed fairly, sustainably and relevant for all parts of society. The MWCapital Awards are used to honor innovative digital transformation projects that meet these criteria and make a positive contribution to a more inclusive and resistant future.
