The UN scheme, which forms part of the Global Compact of Sustainable Development Goals, chooses rising business talent from around the world with the aim of prompting young innovators working in various industries to identify opportunities and develop solutions, under the guidance of mentors.

It selects high performing employees under the age of 35 with an interest in business innovations, sustainability and disruptive technologies.

The ten month long schedule of events comprises workshops, case studies, group exercises, challenges and online learning with the aim of engaging bright young talent to advance the sustainability efforts of the next generation of innovators.

Ale, who has been working at Attollo for the past two and a half years, said: “Sustainable operations are at the heart of what we do here at Attollo.

“When I heard about the Young Innovators Programme I knew it was something we needed to be involved with, as it aligns with our goals of improved marine operations through innovation.

“I’m keen to get started and collaborate with like-minded individuals, all with a shared goal of using climate action to create a better world.”
