    the grand final

    The judges whittled down three winners with the most compelling business plans from each region, including EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Asia Pacific and the Americas (Canada, South and Central America). The winners each received a €5,000 grant to invest in their business and were flown to Havana Club’s homeland, Cuba, to immerse themselves in the cultural spirit of the brand.

    The trip culminated in a showstopping final ceremony in Havana where Collectif Nude were announced the global winner and awarded an additional €15,000 to bring The Block Party to life.
