Want to be apart of the discovery of the most promising, highly scalable startups that are poised to solve the major challenges of our time?

Each year 1776, a global incubator and venture fund, hosts a worldwide tournament called the Challenge Cup. Startups advance through three rounds: Local, Regional and Global Finals. All of the regional winners and a host of wild cards will be invited to participate in the Challenge Cup Global Finals next June in Washington, D.C. There, they’ll compete for over $1 million in prizes, as well as spend time with the investors, customers, media and other key connections that can help them succeed on a global scale.

This event features unique and interesting pitches from participating companies and startups, as well as a multi-stakeholder panel covering topics of interest to startups developing on the China-Western countries.

A special appearance will even be made by the Mayor of Washington DC, who will also be announcing the Beijing winners of the Global Challenge Cup.
