The Grand Challenges Pitch Competition is a celebration of Dyson students, teams, community partners, and clients. During this annual spring event, teams share their work and explain how prize money could support the impactful goals of their project partner.
The Grand Challenges Pitch Competition is part of Better Business Week with the Dyson Undergraduate Council (DUC).
Grand Challenges project teams apply to the Pitch Competition in late February and the top five finalists pitch their project to a live audience and panel of judges. Each four-minute pitch will be followed by a brief question period for judges to seek more information. Judges will award $8000 in prize money to five Grand Challenges project teams. Prize money is given to the community partner or client who worked with the student team, not to the team itself.
The Grand Challenges Program, the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and the Dyson Undergraduate Council would like to thank our generous donors and the SC Johnson College of Business External Relations Team for helping to fund this Cornell Certified Sustainable Event. We would also like to thank all who provide time, feedback, and insights to support our growing program. A special thanks to our students, clients, and community partners who inspire us with their work.
