About Championship
The flagship international pitch competition from TiE’s Young Entrepreneurs program. High-school teams (typically 4–6 students) develop startups and compete for the “Best Business Idea”. The 2025 finals were held on 19–20 June 2025 at two hubs (Delhi-NCR, India and Washington DC, USA), and 2026 dates will be announced. Format: students first work with local TiE chapters through entrepreneurship workshops; winning teams from ~25 regional chapters advance to the 2-day Global Summit pitchfest. A large conference and expo runs alongside the competition. Prizes include investment opportunities, incubation support and global exposure. TiE Young Entrepreneurs is aimed at empowering high-school students through mentorship. See the official TYE Global page for details.
