World Summit Award Young Innovators Award for Young Digital Entrepreneurs
World Summit Award Young Innovators Award for Young Digital Entrepreneurs
WSA selects and promotes local digital innovation improving society. It is a non-monetary award system with a focus on sustainable knowledge transfer through a worldwide network. Winners benefit not from a one-time financial reward, but a lifelong partnership and integration.
WSA is a nomination based award system, eligible for all UN member states.
Each country has a national WSA representation – the WSA National Expert. The WSA national experts are carrying out the local pre-selection for WSA, through national contests or national Expert panel selection. To participate in WSA, you need to be nominated by a WSA National Expert as the best national digital application in one of the 8 categories.
Each country is eligible to nominate one project/solution per WSA category.
Please note that a country’s local deadline for application may vary from the WSA Global deadline.
Are you under the age of 26? You may want to also consider to apply for the WSA Young Innovators!
