NFTE World Series of Innovation — Impact League 2026–2027

The World Series of Innovation Impact League, organized by the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), challenges young innovators to create practical solutions to global problems. Participants choose a challenge aligned with a UN Sustainable Development Goal, develop their idea using design thinking, and submit their solution online. Entries are judged on creativity, connection to the relevant SDG, potential impact and related competition criteria. Top competitors advance to a finalist round that includes a video pitch, with cash prizes awarded in each challenge category. (challenge launch date will be released on 9th of September 2026)

Participants may compete individually or as part of a team. The competition is open internationally and does not require prior participation in an NFTE program.
