GOGO was one of seven winners at the 2024 Ashden Awards, which took place at the Institution of Engineering and Technology in London on 27th June. Winners will receive a grant of up to £25,000 and publicity, including connection to funders, investors and climate sector leaders.

Ashden CEO Dr Ashok Sinha said: “This year’s Ashden Award winners are worthy champions. They’re tackling the biggest climate challenges, in ways that also create important benefits – like new green jobs and fairer societies. Their inclusive approach is key to their success.
“The 2024 winners have come through a rigorous assessment process, which confirmed their immense impact – and their potential to do even more in the future. Passion, ambition: they’ve got it all. So now we urge investors, funders, policymakers and climate sector leaders to back and work with these trailblazers.”
