Overview
beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship
Designed and implemented by The DO School Fellowships and funded by Mercedes-Benz, beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship launched in 2023 to equip thousands of young people around the world with the tools and resources to implement environmental projects for a sustainable planet. In its first year, we launched with over 100 Fellows, our second cohort expanded to 500 Fellows in 2024 and we are now expanding to include 1000 young eco-entrepreneurs across Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America for the 2025 cohort.
Regardless of your background, this fellowship provides you with the training, mentoring, and resources necessary to bring your planet-positive projects to life.
As a participant, you’ll embark on a multi-year Fellowship journey, starting with a 12-month intensive, fully-funded program that equips you with the skills, resources and connections to bring an eco-innovation idea to reality. You receive award-winning innovation training through online modules, community-based Local Hub gatherings, a Regional Summit, regular access to venture coaches, 1:1 mentoring, and expert and peer support to help you achieve your environmental leadership and project goals. At the end of the first year, you will be able to access project scholarships to advance your project’s development.
Years 2 and 3 of our fellowship programming expand on the first 12 months through tailored support based on your project stage. If your project stage is advanced enough in year 2, you can access our Pioneer Launchpad, a program that equips you for greater venture independence; if you are still refining your project, you can access online and in-person venture learning, leadership development, and network building opportunities. At the end of the second year, fellows at the appropriate stage have another opportunity to access project scholarships and join the Pioneer Launchpad. Those who have already completed the Launchpad are exposed to new opportunities to continue building their projects and planet-positive work.
