The Social Shifters - Global Innovation Challenge 2021 is here to unite the next generation of social and environmental innovators and support their vision to make change happen.

Young people know that a post-pandemic society can be better, and they’re audacious enough to make it a reality. The Global Innovation Challenge is open to both individuals and teams between the ages of 18-30 who have big ideas for innovative business solutions to social and environmental challenges. The idea must be at an early stage or less than one year old.

All Challenge applicants will receive a FREE package of support which includes eLearning resources, a social start-up launchpad program and access to expert mentors to help develop and mobilise all early ideas.

The first 500 applicants will receive tickets to the Social Enterprise World Forum and challenge finalists will compete for cash awards of up to $10,000!

The deadline to apply is 16th July 2021.

The Global Innovation Challenge pre-registration page is now open for you to sign up and receive notifications for when the full registration is open! The Challenge is free for all participants.

Please use your Bath university email address when you register.
