The Allianz x Social Shifters MoveNow Global Social Innovation Challenge

MOVE YOUR MIND, BODY & SOCIETY!
Around the world, a new generation of leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs is emerging from every corner of society – from remote villages and small communities to universities and bustling cities. They have grown up in different contexts and environments, but are united by determination, creativity, and a shared dream to tackle the most pressing challenges that will define our collective future. Eager to move now, they bring fresh perspectives, new approaches, and the urgency needed to improve lives and strengthen communities.
The MoveNow Global Social Innovation Challenge exists to support young people who are taking action now on the social and environmental issues that matter most to them, because those who experience challenges firsthand often develop the most effective solutions.

For many years, Allianz has strengthened societal resilience and growth. With their expertise in prevention, insurance, and investment, they have been a trusted partner to people and businesses, helping to manage the effects of climate and social change and supporting the transition to more sustainable economies.
