On March 15, the Tällberg Foundation opened nominations for the 2025 Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize, which honors outstanding leaders from any country or discipline who demonstrate the vision and courage to tackle the complexity of today’s world. Nominations are open through May 15, 2025.
“In an era of technological, geopolitical, and environmental upheaval, we need leaders who shape the future rather than react to it,” said Alan Stoga, chairman of the Tällberg Foundation. “This Prize recognizes extraordinary individuals who don’t just talk about solutions—they take action to drive meaningful change. At its best, leadership can bend the arc of history in the right direction.”
With the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), three winners will be selected in 2025. Each laureate will receive an unrestricted $50,000 grant, be celebrated at an awards dinner next January, and join Tällberg’s global network of leaders—an active forum for engagement and collaboration.
Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leaders are innovative, courageous, ethical, working across disciplines and geographies, with a global worldview. These individuals transcend sectors and borders to tackle pressing global challenges with measurable impact.
Nominations are open to anyone, anywhere, except for Prize jurors and candidates themselves. The process is open online at tallberg-snf-eliasson-prize.org/nominate.
Prize winners will be announced in November 2025 and formally honored in early 2026.
“As AI advances prompt us to consider the qualities that are uniquely human, leadership should be counted among them—leadership not in the sense of sheer organizational capacity, but of acting out of respect for the dignity inherent in every human being,” said SNF Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos. “With its public nomination process and wide-open perspective on where leaders can be found, the Tällberg Foundation’s leadership programs are true to that vision, and all of us at SNF are very proud of the strong collaboration we share.”
If you know a leader whose work deserves global recognition, nominate them today.
