NextGen grants are those awarded by decision of the five adult grandchildren of Ray Anderson, the late founder and chairman of Interface, Inc. Published on Mar 24, 2015 by 3BL Media.  The video features Nigel Stansfield, Chief Innovation Officer for Interface, Inc. and Amado "Madz" Blanco, Net-Works Philippines Project Manager for ZSL Philippines.
