About The Impact Challenge
For the past half century, Business Today has exposed attendees to diverse viewpoints, not only from many industries and companies, but also from students of different countries, universities, and backgrounds. The Impact Challenge is Business Today’s annual pitch competition for undergraduate social entrepreneurs. This challenge takes place during Business Today’s flagship event, the International Conference, and has previously boasted thousands in funding from Moody’s and a fast track to Pear VC’s dorm fund. With an emphasis on social impact, this challenge attracts top applicants from around the world, typically accepting only the top ~2% of applicants. The top teams participate in a heated competition during the International Conference, where an expert panel of judges composed of top entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and executives divide on the winner of the grand prize. Past participants have gone on to become Forbes 30 under 30!
