Applications are invited for the Social Shifters Global Innovation Challenge. The last date for the application is July 31, 2024.
Social Shifters Global Innovation Challenge is designed to support young people (18-30 years) from anywhere in the world who want to take action on the social and environmental issues that impact them and their communities. The programme and support are specially designed for young people with an idea or project at a very early stage in its development. Social entrepreneurs and businesses at a more advanced stage of their start-up journey, i.e., those already delivering services, products, or activities with social or environmental impact, are also welcome.
To participate, projects must contribute to one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This alignment ensures that the initiatives supported by the challenge have a measurable and positive impact on global issues such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation.
The teams will be supported during the submission process, get access to live networking sessions and 1-2-1 coaching will be offered to all finalist projects. More exclusive opportunities will open up to move the idea forward.
The Global Innovation Challenge program is 100% FREE to participants.
Previous winners demonstrate the transformative power of the challenge:
The highest-scoring projects will pitch for one of multiple grant funding awards of up to $10,000 US.
Take the first step towards making a global impact. Register now and be part of the Social Shifters community, where young innovators come together to create a better world.
