Identify a Problem & Brainstorm a Business Solution
If you're between 7 and 21 years old, this is your opportunity to spark a change. Start by coming up with an innovative business or social change idea that addresses a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) that inspires you. Whether you're working on your own or in a team, you'll need to all submit your idea individually. If you're under 15, ensure you have parental consent.
Win a Prize Pack from

Upon completing the Challenge, all participants will be awarded a Certificate of Completion to commemorate their creative ideas. 15 Winners will be chosen to receive a prize bundle that includes a Microsoft Surface Laptop and a Gift Pack courtesy of our Prize Partner, Microsoft. Winners will also receive a 12-month Mentoring Package from the Australian School of Entrepreneurship.
