The world does not change on its own: GET ACTIVE!

If you want to make a difference, you have to take action - this is the motto of the annual GET ACTIVE Social Business Award, which calls for submissions of projects or project ideas.

In 2023, the founders of the initiative - Coca-Cola, Der Standard and the NPO and SE Competence Center of the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (WU Wien) as well as the media partner 4Gamechangers - are calling for the 16th time to become socially entrepreneurially active.

Almost anyone can participate: companies, non-profit organisations, groups of committed people and ambitious individuals. In the course of the competition, the ideas must be developed in the form of a business plan ready for implementation. Based on this plan, a decision-making body selects the most worthy projects in the field of social entrepreneurship with the help of clearly defined assessment criteria, which are then supported with a substantial financial injection.

The NPO & SE Competence Center is responsible for the pre-selection of the submitted projects, is represented in the jury and carries out the accompanying evaluation of the winning projects.
