Imagine Cup is more than a competition; it’s a transformative journey that will help founders turn their ideas into reality. Join to receive cutting-edge technology, technical and entrepreneurial mentorship, and the opportunity for global recognition and prizes that will propel your startup forward.
Many of our competitions are intended for teams, so you may also need to create a team to participate. If a competition requires a team, you'll be able to pick your team right on the Submission page. If you don't have a team yet, you can create one in just a few moments - you just need a team name and team country, and you're ready to go.
