Hyundai Motor Company and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)’s ‘for Tomorrow’ project took the top honor in the Media category at the 2023 South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Innovation Awards this week in Austin, Texas. SXSW Innovation Awards’ Media category, which is new for 2023, recognizes outstanding projects, products and creative endeavors that advance innovation and improve communication.

Launched in 2020 by Hyundai Motor and UNDP, ‘for Tomorrow’ is a bottom-up open innovation platform providing inventive social solutions and accelerating the progress of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Since its launch, the project has presented 84 solutions by innovators from 52 countries and has been recognized for its global impact.

We are thrilled that the South by Southwest® Innovation Awards jury has recognized ‘for Tomorrow’ for advancing innovation and improving communication. The project’s success in fostering grassroots solutions around the world has far exceeded our expectations and is inspiring more global citizens to take notice of the movement’s value to humanity.
