The SATU Presidents’ Forum is excited to announce that the 2021 SMART3.0 Online Pitch Competition is calling for application!

Last year’s SMART2.0 Challenge attracted 106 undergraduate and postgraduate students of 19 different nationalities, representing universities from 8 countries to work together in international and cross-cultural teams. Following such success, we are proud to introduce the 2021 SMART3.0 Online Pitch Competition, where in addition to cross-cultural exposure, innovations and entrepreneurialism are also the emphases. If you have any great ideas and want them to be seen but do not know where to start, this is the competition for you.

Topics

Too many great ideas will never see the light of day because not enough people have exposure to thinking like an entrepreneur. The SMART3.0 Online Pitch Competition is designed for anyone from any discipline and no entrepreneurial experience is required. Sign up now and learn to think like an entrepreneur: creating a business plan, determining product/market fit, giving a pitch, etc. under one of the three topics below:

• Exercise technology
• Combating misinformation online
• Environmental sustainability

We will also provide self-paced accelerated entrepreneurial lessons for participants.

Prizes

Diamond Award: US$5,000 (0-1 team)

Gold Award: US$3,000 (1 team)

Silver Award: US$1,000 (1 team)

Bronze Award: US$300 (5 teams)
