In 2026, TIME will publish its second annual ranking of the [World's Top GreenTech Companies](https://time.com/collection/worlds-top-greentech-companies-of-2025/), in partnership with Statista, a leading international provider of market and consumer data and rankings, alongside its third annual ranking of [America's Top GreenTech Companies](https://time.com/collection/americas-top-greentech-companies-of-2025/). These lists will recognize the most innovative, impactful, and successful companies whose aim is to reduce human impact on the environment.

Because many companies in this space are young, TIME and Statista are accepting applications as part of the research phase. An application guarantees consideration for the lists, but does not guarantee a spot on either list, nor are the final lists limited to applicants.

To apply, [click here](https://research.statista.com/?i%5Fsurvey=19%5F%5F658869a1bb17403d629e7205a2e4b0f6&PID=OA).

More information visit: [](http://www.statista.com/page/top-greentech-companies)[www.statista.com/page/top-greentech-companies](https://www.statista.com/page/top-greentech-companies). Winners of America's Top GreenTech Companies will be announced on TIME.com in March 2026, and winners of the World's Top GreenTech Companies will be announced on TIME.com in June 2026.
