About Elevator Pitch

• An elevator pitch is a condensed, easy to understand version of a business pitch that is delivered in the time it takes to ride an elevator.
• As innovators, the applicants should be able to give a pitch any time, including during an elevator ride.
• However, boiling down their solutions to a paragraph and, ultimately, to a single, concise statement is often challenging and requires constant practice and feedback
• Moreover, the Contest’s goal is to identify and support projects that can be implemented and produce a meaningful impact in the short term.
• Furthermore, the contest will support projects that can provide climate-smart innovations for better nutrition.

The Elevator Pitch Contest will be held at the Micronutrient Forum Global Conference on March 24, 2020.

Eligibility

• The competition is open to all the students, entrepreneurs and young professionals
• Also, the candidates can submit only one idea per term. The idea must be their own or that of their team.
