Red Club x Cartier crowned not one but two Young Leader Award winners with a ceremony held in Singapore on Oct. 15. The annual event was a reminder of what's possible when fashion and philanthropy join forces. This year's edition—which honored emerging impact entrepreneurs shaping the world through technology—drew 540 applicants from 66 countries. The pool was then narrowed down to four finalists, from which two grand prize awardees were selected.
One of the grand prize winners was Didi Gan, founder of N&E Innovations, who developed an edible antimicrobial derived from upcycled food waste. Suitable for commercial and consumer use alike, this groundbreaking technology offers a sustainable alternative to traditional disinfectants by reducing carbon emissions.
