SAGE World Cup

1. Competition Process

The SAGE (Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship) Competition empowers teenage entrepreneurs to create and run real businesses, supported by teachers and mentors. Through a series of local to global competitions, including the prestigious SAGE World Cup, students refine their business models, gain practical skills, and build confidence.

• Local Stage: The competition starts with the local stage, as teens will begin by developing business solutions, refining their ideas, and preparing for the competition.
• National Stage: Then, students will present their ideas at their country’s national competition. 
• SAGE World Cup: The top 2 teams from each country are invited to the SAGE World Cup. Students will present their idea on the international stage, network with industry leaders, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs.
