This Award is a concrete recognition of fraternity lived intelligently and effectively, including on the economic level. It is a support that helps smaller businesses that need a boost but are an example of that new economy—one based on solidarity, humanity, circularity, and brotherhood—that is so desperately needed, especially in the world’s poorest regions.” Monsignor Domenico Sorrentino

Since 2021, the Award has received applications from 57 countries across five continents and has awarded a total of €275,000 to winning projects.
