William founded the prize in 2020 to recognise and scale up ideas to help “repair” the planet, with the five winning finalists each awarded £1 million to further develop their ideas. With the inaugural awards taking place in London in 2021, other locations have included Boston in 2022, Singapore in 2023 and Cape Town in 2024.
