Applications are open for the Conrad Challenge 2023-2024. The challenge invites you to design an innovation, solve an important problem and establish yourself as an entrepreneur. Over the course of the year, you and your teammates will go step-by-step through the entrepreneurial process and design an innovation that solves an important problem.

- Power Pitch Stage (April 23-26, 2024): The top teams from the Innovation Stage are named Finalists and invited to pitch their innovations to a live panel of Judges at the 2024 Conrad Challenge Innovation Summit.
