The HundrED Global Collection Award for Leading Education Innovation was given to Chidi Nwaogu, co-founder of Savvy, a global initiative that educates, encourages, and finances budding and early-stage entrepreneurs.

Savvy, Nwaogu’s nomination, was among those recognised as the most significant and scaleable breakthrough in education out of 3,488 nominees.
“We’re humbled to be acknowledged as one of the remarkable initiatives that are transforming the face of education in a post-COVID future,” he stated in a post on social media.

Nwaogu and the other winners will be honoured during the award ceremony, which runs from October 26 through October 28 at the HundrED Innovation Summit in Helsinki, Finland. The HundrED Innovation Summit will be organized partly with the United Nations University UNU-WIDER and the City of Helsinki.

With support from the Roddenberry Foundation, the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation, the International Telecommunication Union, and Because International, Savvy was established to assist at least 100,000 unemployed professionals transition into entrepreneurship by providing them with the knowledge, resources, and support network to create sustainable, innovative, and profitable businesses. This was done in an effort to lower the expanded global unemployment rate.

111 languages, including English, French, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish, and Bengali, are supported by the Savvy programme. Out of more than 96,000 applications, Savvy has so far chosen, trained, supported, and sponsored more than 8,000 people in 158 countries, who have now established more than 3,000 enterprises in a variety of industries and geographical areas.
