The Global Challenge competition is open to MBA and other graduate students from across the nation to employ their creativity, research skills, business acumen and passion for seeking solutions that advance growth and reduce poverty. We hope to inspire collaboration across disciplines to formulate truly original ideas on international development and devise an entirely new public-private alliance--one that will allow a private enterprise to contribute to international development initiatives in a specified region. The first round will take place from February to March, and will narrow down the teams to eight finalists. These finalists will travel to Washington, DC for the final round event on April 23rd.
