For partners
Back a challenge.
Don't just sponsor the future. Help build it. Backers attach themselves to a challenge area — and to what happens after the June event, when the strongest ideas move towards pilots.
What backing can be
- Funding
- Expertise
- Data
- Mentors
- Facilities
- Introductions
Money matters, but so does an hour of the right expertise, a dataset, a room, or one introduction.
The rule
Backing does not buy influence.
Backers have no say over which ideas are selected, how they're judged, or what the outcome is. Young people's ideas stay theirs. That independence is the point.

- Learn
- Move
