NYU Global InnoVention Competition

The NYU Global InnoVention Competition is open to all NYU students, both graduate and undergraduate, interested in being a part of a team. Faculty members are also welcome to join a team or multiple teams to provide technical and industry expertise to the students.

The competition will consist of two rounds — a local competition and global accelerator and pitch event. For the local competitions, teams will compete in one of three parallel prototyping challenges operating out of the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, NYU Abu Dhabi, and NYU Shanghai campuses. Each campus will host a series of events and programs to encourage students to pursue solutions to pressing real-world problems, to be followed by several weeks of intense programming and prototyping supported by each campus’ resources. Each campus will host a local event to select the winners of local competition and to award prize money and the opportunity to participate in the Global InnoVention Competition.
