The prize rewards young entrepreneurs from Mediterranean countries who submit innovative ideas to improve their environment that have as well a social impact. The deadline to submit the applications is 10 November 2017.

The OSCE GEMS Award will provide a 15,000€ grant to the best business ideas submitted by young green entrepreneurs from the Mediterranean, so they can turn their idea into a business.

The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which promotes green and social entrepreneurship in the Mediterranean as a tool for contributing to stability and peace in the region, has decided to partner with the SwitchersFund and its promoters by launching the OSCE GEMS Awards.
