CONVOCATORIA: The Fowler Global Social Innovation Challegen - 1 al 3 de mayo de 2026

 

Hello,  

I'm so excited to be reaching out again—applications for the 2026 Fowler Global Social Innovation Challenge(FGSIC) are officially open! We would be thrilled to connect with you again to find the world's next top student changemakers.

What's At Stake for Your Students?

• A chance to be selected to compete at the 2026 Global Finals, May 1st - 3rd, in San Diego, CA.

• Teams will compete for a share of $175,000+ in non-dilutive capital and in-kind services.

Eligibility: Currently enrolled students with a business venture that addresses a social or environmental challenge, grounded in 1 or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals can pitch. The students can be at the undergraduate or graduate level. 

As a valued past partner, we'd love to collaborate in one of two key ways:

1. Connect on a Deeper Partnership: Do you run a social innovation incubator, accelerator, or internal pitch competition? We would love to discuss positioning the FGSIC as a powerful next step for your students. Please schedule a time on my Calendly to explore a more formal collaboration.

2. Share the Global Application Link: If you'd prefer, the most direct way to get your students in the running is to share the Application Form link. We especially hope you'll encourage any amazing teams you've worked with to apply!

We're looking forward to another year of amazing impact together!

Warmly,
