British Airways
Better World

In partnership with British Airways, this competition invites Enactus students to create innovative and sustainable solutions that help combat climate change and promote sustainability within the transport and aviation industries. This is your chance to make a real-world impact and accelerate your project's journey toward creating a more sustainable future.

Competition Overview

British Airways is looking for early stage projects that offer practical, innovative solutions aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13: Climate Action. These projects should focus on addressing climate change through sustainability initiatives, specifically within the transport and aviation industries.

We want to empower you to make a positive environmental impact through solutions that can create long-term, sustainable change in your local community.

At British Airways, we believe in the power of flight to connect people and cultures across the globe. However, we also understand the importance of addressing the environmental challenges that come with flying. That's why we're on a journey to create a better, more sustainable future through BA Better World. By supporting innovative projects, we aim to help tackle climate change and contribute to building a sustainable future for all.
