Our Next Generation Ambassadors represent a broader Next Generation Accelerator (NGX) network and work together to uncover ideas that can be transferable across regions.

The Foundation recently launched a new initiative to support the next generation of industry leaders. Through this new program, the Holcim Foundation intends to accelerate its support of fresh ideas that can help raise the profile of sustainable construction at both local and global level.
