These innovative and sustainable proposals stood out among numerous applications, demonstrating a strong commitment to an inclusive future:
Artemisa by Forest Bank
Artemisa is an early wildfire detection system built on autonomous IoT devices equipped with 4G connectivity, solar panels, and batteries. Developed by Forest Bank and powered by proprietary AI-driven visual recognition, Artemisa can detect smoke or fire at distances of up to 6 miles (10 km). The technology is designed to minimize the impact and consequences of wildfires.
Fortalece
Historic irrigation systems are complex, multifunctional socio-ecological systems that have proven sustainable and resilient over centuries. By implementing innovative governance tools, this project empowers irrigation communities to become providers of ecosystem services — a cornerstone of a just ecological transition. The initiative promotes traditional irrigation systems as instruments of ecological restoration, sustainable agricultural production, preservation of a significant number of Habitats of Community Interest, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, while contributing to the economic and social development of rural areas.
DesaLIFE
DesaLIFE develops and validates, in Gran Canaria, a new method for producing drinking water from the sea using only wave energy and with no dependence on the electrical grid. The project strengthens water security and the resilience of vulnerable territories by reducing the environmental footprint of desalination and offering a sustainable alternative for water supply in contexts of growing water and energy stress.
Green Employment — Training and Employability
Led by CEAR, an NGO serving refugees, this project aims to advance the labor integration of refugees within the green economy. It is an innovative initiative that simultaneously addresses two critical challenges: social inclusion and the growing demand for talent in sustainable sectors. The project is built on a comprehensive model that combines technical training, individualized support, and partnerships with employers to ensure real and lasting employability.
Tech inclusion: ecological restoration and citizen science
Iberozoa presents an ecological restoration project that trains and employs vulnerable young people in the use of IoT technology and citizen science. Through the organization's proprietary app and the installation of monitored biodiversity shelters, local environmental action is transformed into scientific data for universities. This is a just transition model that unites social inclusion, technological innovation, and territorial regeneration.
La Recuperadora
La Recuperadora is a collective secondhand brand driven by organizations that are pioneers in the circular economy. It promotes waste reduction through reuse and the socio-labor inclusion of people who are experiencing or at risk of social exclusion, contributing to a just ecological transition.
Guardias Do Mar
“Guardiãs do Mar” addresses the loss of employment in the fishing sector caused by the decline of marine seagrass meadows. The initiative empowers female fishers by equipping them with new professions centered on ocean regeneration, while promoting best practices and driving a paradigm shift away from the extractive model of traditional fishing.
Fruta Feia
Fruta Feia is a cooperative that fights appearance-based food waste, channeling fruits and vegetables rejected for purely aesthetic reasons, such as color, shape, and size, directly from farmers to consumers. Today, Fruta Feia operates 21 delivery points, working with 400 farmers and 13,000 consumers who together prevent the waste of 31.5 tons of fruits and vegetables per week, preserving the natural resources, water, soil, and energy, invested in their production.
Novonovo
Novonovo develops design and construction solutions by bridging industry, architecture, and technology through a digital platform that streamlines access to reclaimed materials and facilitates their reintegration into new projects. The initiative combines materials sourcing, consulting, and customized services, promoting more accessible and distinctive ways of building from existing resources.
Refood
The REFOOD movement is an innovative circular food economy model that transforms an environmental problem—food waste—into a social resource: nutrition for people in vulnerable situations, delivered through an entirely volunteer-driven community network. By building a human bridge between surplus and need, it charts a course toward a just ecological transition, grounded in the motto “Recover to Feed”. Growing step by step, the movement now comprises 70 chapters across Portugal, 6,100 volunteers, 2,000 partners, and 6,800 beneficiaries. It recovers approximately 2 million meals per year and prevents more than 1,000 tons of organic waste, a movement of human, social, and environmental impact that is already expanding beyond Portugal’s borders.

We are driving a just ecological transition
Fundación Moeve launches the third edition of the Fundación Moeve Awards (formerly Future for All Awards) with €120,000 to support projects that improve people's quality of life and their environment.
-
-
We are looking for transformational projects with a significant impact that promote a just ecological transition in a significant and relevant way and help people have a better life.
It is important for projects to have demonstrable results and be scalable.
This year, as a new feature, the degree of innovation will also be assessed. -
The Fundación Moeve Awards (formerly Future for All Awards) are open to private or public companies with headquarters and operations in Spain or Portugal: startups, NGOs, SMEs, freelancers, non-corporate foundations, associations, educational centers, institutes, etc.
The submission period will be from February 17 to March 11, 2026, until 3:00 PM (Mainland Spain time) and 2:00 PM (Portugal time).
The three winners will receive an expert support to carry out their projects in addition to financial support to boost their projects.
Once the project submission period concludes, ten finalists will be chosen to provide a pitch for their proposal. To this end, assistance will be provided by experts in preparation sessions to the finalist groups.
The awards ceremony will be in June. The panel of judges that will select a maximum of 3 winning projects will be composed of members of the Fundación Moeve Advisory Board. Additionally, a person of recognized prestige may be added, as well as representatives of the Fundación or Moeve. -
No. In the Fundación Moeve Awards, the scope is Spain and Portugal, promoting projects developed in either of these two countries and whose main impact is generated within these territories.
-
We are looking for projects with clear prospects for growth or expansion in scope or impact for at least the next 12 months.
If your project ends in 8 months, for example, but you can justify that the prize money will allow you to expand its impact once completed, you may register it.
-
The project must be able to demonstrate impactful results, both environmental and social. It is not necessary for it to be in a specific phase, but it must have a solid and realistic business model and structure.
Projects in intermediate or advanced phases that can already show significant results will be valued positively.
