What does GIST Catalyst Virtual Pitch Competition offer?

  • Global Innovation through Science and Technology (GIST) Catalyst offers young STEM entrepreneurs the opportunity to elevate their pitch and showcase their scale-up on a global stage, while receiving valuable mentorship from American entrepreneurs and academics who are leaders in the field of entrepreneurship.
  • Catalyst also provides participating entrepreneurs with the opportunity to increase the visibility of their scale-up. Because the live semi-final and final pitches will be held on a virtual platform, the viewers will not be limited geographically.
  • This is an opportunity to promote your scale-up to your community, network, and the world – showcasing your innovation and attracting support.
  • GIST Catalyst has helped innovators secure funding for their ventures, collaborate with the U.S. private sector, and build new partnerships.
  • Launched during the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) 2017 in Hyderabad, India and repeated in 2019 at the GES in The Hague, Netherlands, Catalyst gave more than 60 entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their scale-ups to high-impact investors, policy makers, and leaders in the U.S. private sector, and compete for generous startup resources.
  • All entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 40 from GIST economies are encouraged to apply.
  • Technologies that address global challenges through Agriculture Innovations, Clean Climate & Energy Innovations, Global Health Innovations, and Water Solution Innovations are particularly encouraged to apply.
  • Please note, you will need to make a 90 second pitch video and use a video hosting service such as YouTube for your GIST Catalyst application.
  • This video will be used during the adjudication, allowing judges the chance to learn more about you and your scale-up.
  • Please ensure your pitch video is concise, high-quality and no longer than 90 seconds. All pitch videos need to be in English.

The deadline to apply for this competition is 22-Sep-21.
