Global representation from all sectors of society
The 77 Awardees come from 45 different countries and from all six continents, with Europe (27 Awardees), Asia & Pacific (18), North America (11), Africa (10), Latin America & Caribbean (8), and Australia & Oceania (3).
The countries with the highest numbers of Awardees are the United States of America (8); India, Austria, and Germany (4 each); Canada and China (3 each). All awarded solutions are scalable, with many already operational in several countries. Notable additions to the geographical distribution are Guinea and Guyana, which are represented for the first time, and China joining the list of countries with the highest number of Awardees this year.
Strategic partnerships of the Zero Project in South Asia and Ibero-America have contributed to consistently significant numbers of cross-sectoral nominations and Awardees from those world regions.
