The 4-Point Approach
At the Global Finals, the top two teams from each participating university come together to pitch their proposed solutions to one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Teams bond with like-minded visionaries from around the world, as well as innovation leaders and enthusiasts, and gain invaluable new connections, experiences, and potentially the funding necessary to accelerate the launch or growth of their social ventures.
* While we hope to offer a hybrid Global Finals experience, due to the ongoing pandemic, contingency plans have been set for a virtual Finals. We will be both flexible and agile, and of course, continue to follow official guidelines and recommendations for safety. We can't wait to innovate with you.
