Santander X Challenge Awards Ceremony

   

Banco Santander launched a global challenge for startups and scaleups from 11 countries in order to find innovative and sustainable solutions for the automotive industry in different areas: mobility, logistics and transport, and carbon offset alternatives, supported by Formula 1®. 

Santander has signed a three-year collaboration agreement with F1® to promote various sustainability initiatives. As part of the sponsorship collaboration, they've launched Santander X Global Challenge | Countdown to Zero, an open call for startups and scaleups driving the race to net zero. It will reward and support innovative solutions to the sustainability-related challenges arising from carbon emissions and will drive accelerated progress towards new solutions that will create lasting social and economic impact for the environment and millions of people around the world.

The best startups and scaleups received cash prizes for a total of 120,000 euros, access to Santander X 100, the opportunity to pitch to F1 experts and access to EIT InnoEnergy Innovation Engine.

The partnership aligns with the commitment made by F1® to be Net-Zero Carbon by 2030 as part of its sustainability strategy, which addresses how the wider sport can reduce carbon, including through innovative solutions for freight and logistics, as well as the introduction of 100% sustainable fuels in 2026.
