THE FUTURE IS FUNGI AWARD

With The Future is Fungi Award, we want to honor and uncover the frontier and cutting-edge science that explores the utilisation of fungi for environmental solutions. We aim to put the spotlight on NEW and EMERGING areas of fungal research and start-up innovations, lifting them from the depth of the forest into the daylight.

Our goal is also to inspire further research and innovation in the bottomless field of fungal research and applications.

Together, we accelerate the fungal revolution!

“Fungi represent an untapped reservoir of solutions. The Future is Fungi Award is not just about acknowledging current innovations, but it's a clarion call to researchers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries to explore this uncharted territory. Every strand of mycelium we study might lead us closer to an answer for our environmental challenges"
