🌍 Remember Team Delavo, The Earth Prize 2023 Winner? Team Delavo, from Bahçeşehir Koleji in Türkiye, created a groundbreaking device to treat and reuse 90% of laundry machine wastewater. Impressively, they were the second all-female team to win The Earth Prize competition. In a recent interview with Maddyness UK, Team Delavo reflected on their experience with The Earth Prize. They highlighted how crucial structured support, like mentor feedback, was in their journey as female climate entrepreneurs. Irmak, one of the team members, shared: “Along our journey through initiating Delavo, we acquired significantly valuable experience: we witnessed the high potential of inclusive teamwork, the substantiality of expert feedback, and the power of durable determination for implementing our intentions. On the other hand, attending The Earth Prize competition played a crucial role in the success of Delavo by providing influential mentorship support, and enabling Delavo to be heard by possible partner companies. Therefore, we highly recommend young entrepreneurs apply to The Earth Prize and resembling programs to receive support for their attempts.” Team Delavo’s innovative work not only addresses a critical environmental issue but also serves as an inspiration for other young women to pursue climate entrepreneurship. Irmak Zelal Cengiz from the team expressed their hopes: “We hope that female climate entrepreneurs can possess an equitable working environment in the future, and reveal innovative solutions for the climate without encountering challenges - so that we can find the most efficient alternatives to overcome climate-related problems”, explained Irmak Zelal Cengiz, from team Delavo. 👏 Congratulations again, Team Delavo! We can't wait to see how you’ll continue to drive change with your project.

In a recent article published in Maddyness, Charlotte T. explored why the world needs more female climate entrepreneurs: Whilst girls often outperform boys in digital literacy in school, only half as many women as men are graduating in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields in the EU. A fact that raises the question of how young women can take their interest in science and technology from the classroom into their career choices. As the world’s largest environmental sustainability competition for students aged 13-19 years, it is our goal to encourage young people to enter the climate entrepreneurship space. In fact, The Earth Prize Winning teams of 2022 and 2023 were both all-female teams: Adorbsies (Vietnam) and Delavo (Türkiye). “As a female teen or young woman aspiring to become an entrepreneur, one of the biggest challenges I perceive is navigating and overcoming gender stereotypes in the business world. These stereotypes often create barriers to accessing funding, finding mentorship, and being taken seriously in entrepreneurial circles. Additionally, balancing entrepreneurial ambitions with societal expectations around traditional gender roles and responsibilities can be particularly daunting.” reflected Dorothy Tran from Team Adorbsies in a conversation with Charlotte.
