01/04/2019
10th Anniversary Commemoration for Honorees Including Nelson Mandela's Grandson and Co-Founder of the Africa Rising Foundation Ndaba Mandela, Global Impact Revolution Pioneer Sir Ronald Cohen, HBO News Documentary Series Axios and Pop-Up Magazine
Posthumous Awards go to WWII Hungarian Jews Savior Tibor Baranski and Apollo 12 Commander Charles Pete' Conrad Jr. - The Third Man to Walk on the Moon
NEW YORK, NY- March 18, 2019 -Today, the Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, and Disruptor Foundation announced their Tenth Annual Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards (TDIA) which will take place on Friday, May 3rd at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. The awards ceremony, sponsored by AT&T, will celebrate, nurture and mobilize a community of disruptors who have inspired and empowered others toward innovative thinking and creative activism. Honorees include Nelson Mandela's grandson and co-founder of the Africa Rising Foundation Ndaba Mandela, Global Impact Revolution Pioneer and Philanthropist Sir Ronald Cohen, acclaimed Live Magazine touring show Pop-Up Magazine and commended news documentary series Axios on HBO. Posthumous awards go to Apollo 12 Commander (ahead of the Apollo's 50th anniversary) and third man to walk on the moon Charles Pete' Conrad Jr., and WWII Hungarian Jews Savior Tibor Baranski.
Helmed by co-founder Craig Hatkoff, the awards acknowledge and uplift those who have challenged social norms to present world-changing inventions or ideas. With past honorees including Eric Schmidt, Questlove, Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber, these changemakers often live at the intersection of technology and culture, encourage advances in society and raise the bar for a thriving humanity. The awards will be hosted by HBO filmmaker and Sirius XM host, Perri Peltz.
Over the past ten years, we have celebrated the achievements of 250 the worlds greatest disruptors who have challenged and changed the status quo for the public good, says Tribeca Film Festival co-founder Craig Hatkoff.
We have witnessed the awe, wonder and enchantment of human ingenuity and resilience. Our disruptors have led an expansion the moral imagination to deal with the worlds most vexing problems. As we celebrate our tenth anniversary, a clear message has emerged: in order to bridge the rapidly expanding techno-cultural divide, we will need to better understand the influence of culture and context on successful innovation and disruption. Too much emphasis has been placed on the promise of our emerging technologies, but humanism itself remains at the core of all progress.
TDIA serves as a living laboratory for advances in disruptive innovation theory, bringing together the world's most striking innovators with stories that inspire us to think outside the box, focusing on breakthroughs at the intersection of technology and culture where resistance to change impedes upon social progress. Visionary minds have come together to brainstorm solutions and envision lifechanging results for some of the world's most critical issues. TDIA honors these dynamic individuals and corporations founded upon advancing society through cutting-edge cultural revolutions.
The Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Awards are a collaboration with Clayton Christensen, Harvard Business School Professor, author of the Silicon Valley manifesto, The Innovators Dilemma and father of the disruptive innovation theory-the world's most influential theory of innovation and radical change. This year's honorees include:

Soon after, Alexandria became a national and international organizer for the first ever global youth climate strike which occurred on March 15, 2019 and mobilized 1.6M youth from 123 countries.
