Are you a young innovator with bold ideas to change the world? The 2025 Social Shifters Global Innovation Challenge is officially open, and it's your time to shine.
Designed for youth aged 18–30, this challenge is a launchpad for purpose-driven entrepreneurs and changemakers who are using fresh thinking to tackle the world’s biggest challenges, from climate justice and mental health to gender equality and digital access.
And the best part? You don’t need a perfect pitch deck. You just need a powerful idea and the courage to act.
Winners will gain access to:
- $10,000 in funding
- World-class coaching and mentoring
- Global visibility and connections to potential investors and partners
Why this matters for Africa:
Across the continent, youth are leading innovation, from tech solutions in Nairobi’s Kibera to green energy startups in Accra and community health platforms in Kampala. This challenge isn’t just global; it’s grounded in local action. It’s about amplifying youth-led change from the grassroots to the global stage.
Whether you're building a mental health app in Lagos, a waste-to-energy model in Dar es Salaam, or a digital literacy campaign in Lusaka, this is your invitation to go global.
Deadline: July 31, 2025
