Al-Dabbagh Group (ADG) has launched its first ever Grand Challenge Omnipreneurship Awards, with the goal of identifying a technological solution to create a circular ecosystem across business unit’s areas of operations.
Those who have a knack for stretching limits, thinking outside of the box and a desire to build a better world are invited to participate.
The Next Big Thing
ADG with Omnipreneurship Awards are always on the look-out for The Next Big Thing. It is one of the ten golden rules of Omnipreneurship. The Next Big Thing is based on the premise that one must always question the status-quo and seek new ways of looking at things. It is all about doing something faster, more efficiently and with the view of impacting as many people as possible.
The criteria for determining if your proposal is big enough to become The Next Big Thing for the Sustainability Branch Challenge are a set of questions we can ask ourselves:
- Is it scalable? For a proposal to be The Next Big Thing it has to have the potential and ability to scale.
- Is it sustainable? It has to have the power to attract support year after year.
- Is it impactful? It is important that it has a tangible effect, whether solving a problem or changing perspectives on how things are done. It also has to be measurable to ensure that it is having the intended impact.
- Is it cost-effective? The ability to minimize investment on the proposal , while maximizing return.
- Is it game-changing? The proposal should disrupt the current ecosystem or model being used for the better.
As a leading poultry meat producer and distributor, TFC, part of ADG, is dedicated to contributing to a circular society and are now looking for ideas which can be realized and technologies that help to find an ‘environmentally positive’ second life for their waste products.
Omnipreneurship Awards TFC are seeking new uses and processing technologies for the waste generated by their farms. Their goal is that the waste produced becomes useful raw materials that can be used in other processes or high added value products for their core business. In a nutshell, TFC would like the waste to become of value to the company and to the environment. This would allow TFC to offset all the costs of disposal and eventually, it should generate a ‘clean & green’ revenue from the waste.
Fresh thinking about the uses and the value of the waste could lead to new business models or cost-effective solutions that will make TFC’s waste valuable and promote environmentally friendly reuse or recycling of the generated waste streams.
The focus of this challenge is to find a solution that will process chicken farm waste in a cost-effective, commercially viable manner to create a positive impact on TFC as a corporate entity, on the environment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and ultimately global ecosystem.
Start with carefully reading our detailed Challenge Description and the Official Rules.
If you believe that you have the solution that TFC should consider, you must complete and submit the online response form by Tuesday, December 15th 2020, 11.59 pm CET. You will be able to upload supplemental documents with your response.
