Conrad Challenge 2024-2025 by the Numbers

We’re only THREE days away from the launch of the 2025-2026 competition cycle. While we’re gearing up, let’s take a look back at last year’s top highlights!  

  1. In the Activation & Lean Canvas stages, 5000 students from across 82 countries enrolled in the challenge. In other words, 42.1% of the countries in the world were represented in the Conrad Challenge—that’s impressive!  
  1. During the Innovation stage, nearly 500 online judges representing over 150 different companies and universities donated their time to review student submissions. Thank you, Judges, we couldn’t do it without you!  
  1. The Conrad Challenge Innovation Summit welcomed 31 teams from 11 different countries and 7 U.S. states. You all really helped us put the “Global” in this competition! 

It’s always fun to reminisce, but it’s even better to live in the present! Save the date and join us on Thursday, August 28 at 7:00 p.m. CT on Instagram Live for our competition cycle launch announcement.

Heads-Up, Innovators!

Submissions for the Activation Stage of the Conrad Challenge have closed, and the Conrad Portal is buzzing with submissions from amazing teams like yours! 
 
Because of this exciting surge, you might notice:
– Processing and confirmations on the portal lagging
– Email inquiries having longer response times due to volume
 
We’re thrilled to see your creativity in action and appreciate your patience! 🌟
