The Impact Entrepreneurship Group is proud to present the Global Innovation Tournament, organized in partnership with Stanford University and the Kauffman Foundation. This year’s challenge has been announced: your challenge is Make Saving Money Fun!

Teams can still sign up, and submissions are due this Friday, November 13th, 2009.

Create as much value and have as much impact as possible while making it fun to save money. You will convey your results in a short YouTube video of three minutes or less.

For more information about the challenge, check out the Global Innovation Tournament website.

About the Tournament

The 2009 Global Innovation Tournament (GIT) is a fast-paced international competition that will challenge student teams to solve a common, world problem in about eight days, creating as much value as possible.

In the past, teams solved problems involving common everyday objects. They created value from PostIt Notes, rubber bands, and water bottles. This year, it’s a global issue of how to make saving money fun!

Teams must then convey their results in a short video posted to YouTube. The mystery problem will be revealed on November 4 and submissions will be due Nov 13!

Follow us on Twitter and tweet with the #ImpactGIT hashtag to be part of the conversation!
