Nationals

The National stage brings together the most promising student startups in each country or territory. Hosted by leading universities, National events are where teams sharpen their business models, pitch to expert judges, and compete for the opportunity to move forward. If a national program isn't available in your country, or if you can’t attend the in-person event, your team may be reviewed through an equivalent online selection process.
