All 824 student-written stories published in 2019 are eligible for the 2020 Flourish Prizes. These stories showcase positive business innovations that span the globe and demonstrate how business can help achieve the 17 UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
The 2020 Flourish Prize finalists are available here. In 2020 we celebrated 76 finalists from 22 countries. We are so proud of all of our universities, professors, and students for participating in this program and helping to lift up and share stories of business innovation for the global good.
Our 2020 Flourish Prize honorees were announced the week of June 8th-12th via our Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn pages and our AIM2Flourish Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. Our business honorees come from 10 different countries and their stories were written by students from 13 schools under the direction of 15 educators.
