Ten teams comprised of students and alumni from SPS as well as universities around the world will pitch their business ideas aimed at solving some of the greatest challenges our city, country, and world face.

Come witness innovation at its purest form and see who will walk away with seed money to help their businesses grow.

As an attendee, you’ll also have the chance to vote for your favorite team, which will take the $1,000 Audience Pick.

About The Greater Good Challenge
