The Conrad Challenge is a purpose-driven STEM innovation competition that is creating the next generation of entrepreneurs who will change the world.
From August through April, teams will journey through the entrepreneurial process and design an innovation that solves an important problem. The 2025-2026 competition is comprised of 3 phases: Activation Stage, Innovation Stage, and Innovation Summit. Only Innovation Stage finalists will move to the Innovation Summit.
Teams may compete from anywhere in the world. Teams can be assembled by siblings, classmates and students from other institutions. If challengers have competed in a previous year, they may compete again if they still meet the age criteria and other requirements
From international trips to college scholarships, the Conrad Challenge is dedicated to awarding prizes that support student innovators during the next steps in their careers.
Add these to your calendar to stay on top of deadlines throughout the competition.
