YOUR FUTURE RESPONSIBILITIES

The Global Challenge is a renowned worldwide deep tech startup competition. For its 9th edition in 2023, more than 4,500 entrepreneurs from 125 countries applied.

Here, we avoid pointless apps and social media analytics tools — we prefer breakthrough medical treatments, quantum computers or carbon-negative energy sources. Solutions that actually make the world a better place.

Startups are selected through a 3-step evaluation process. We evaluate each project on their technological innovation, economic viability, team and potential impact on society or industry, with the help of an expert jury made up of scientists, entrepreneurs, investors and industry experts.

Reporting to our Global Challenge & Startup Network Coordinator, you will:

• Source the best deep tech startups from around the world and convince them to apply to the Global Challenge. You’ll be looking for the most disruptive technologies, scraping data from the web and contacting the most promising deep tech entrepreneurs to promote the competition.

• Support startups before and during the Challenge. As the main point of contact, you’ll be liaising first with the entrepreneurs to support them in filling out their application form and later, to help them prepare for the Investor Day & Global Summit and make the most of the competition.

• Help us organize the jury and selection process and take part in the first round of startup evaluations (depending on your expertise and background). You’ll be going through hundreds of exciting projects, sorting out the most outstanding and impactful ones and helping prepare the whole evaluation process with hundreds of jury members involved.
