The 100 finalists, known collectively as the EWC 100, were selected after succeeding in qualifier competitions and activities around the world. The top performing 250 companies were invited to participate in a three-day boot camp, with 100 selected to pitch at the Global Finals.
“These companies and their founders have wowed us at every stage of the competition”, said Jonathan Ortmans, president of the Global Entrepreneurship Network. “They are on course to change lives with innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.”
The EWC 100 are based in: Africa (6), Asia (17), Europe (28), Middle East (12), North America (14), Oceania (2), South America (20) and the Caribbean (1).
In addition to competing for the grand $300,000 prize, startups will also vie in specialized categories based on sector (including tech and space and sustainability and environment) and impact (including social impact, sustainable development goals, and women-led companies).
All 100 global finalists will receive $100,000 in in-kind services from partners such as AWS, Freshworks, Google Cloud, Hubspot, Stripe, Zoom and more.
