The Earthshot Prize Summit Mumbai 2026 will form a key part of the programme, creating opportunities for leaders across sectors to establish collaborations and mobilise support for environmental solutions.
Jason Knauf, CEO of The Earthshot Prize, said the partnership reflects the shared ambition to help innovative solutions achieve greater impact. “India has an extraordinary track record of turning ambitious ideas into solutions that improve lives at scale. As we bring The Earthshot Prize to Mumbai for the first time, we are delighted to welcome Serum Institute of India as a principal sponsor of the Summit. Their global experience in taking breakthrough solutions from innovation to impact reflects the ambition at the heart of The Earthshot Prize. Together, we want to help environmental innovators connect with the people collaborations and support that can help their solutions go further, faster.”
Adar C. Poonawalla, CEO, Serum Institute of India, said addressing major global challenges requires resources and partnerships that enable promising ideas to reach people at scale.
“Some of the world’s greatest challenges can only be addressed when bold ideas are backed with the resources and collaborations needed to make them accessible at scale. We are proud to support The Earthshot Prize Summit in Mumbai and the innovators working to build a healthier and more sustainable future. India has always been a country of ingenuity and enterprise, and we look forward to seeing that spirit come together with global innovation through The Earthshot Prize.”
The sponsorship builds on Serum Institute of India’s wider support for scientific discovery and education, extending its involvement to a global platform focused on environmental innovation and sustainability.
The Mumbai programme will culminate in The Earthshot Prize Awards Night, where five Winners will each receive Euro 1 million to accelerate their environmental solutions. The event will bring together global leaders, entrepreneurs, environmental champions and cultural voices to celebrate the 15 Finalists and their work to protect and restore the planet.
With Serum Institute of India joining as a principal sponsor, the 2026 Summit will bring together environmental innovators and leaders from multiple sectors to build collaborations and mobilise support for solutions aimed at addressing the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
