About this opportunity

The Global Health Innovation Grand Challenge brings together university student teams from around the world working on health technology: digital solutions, medical devices, climate and environmental health, diagnostics, AI models, imaging or therapeutics. Submissions are grouped by Technology Readiness Level, so early ideas only compete against other early ideas. Executive summaries are due December 15, 2026 through the GCIEM portal, semi-finalists are notified in January 2027, and the final is April 30 – May 2, 2027 in Houston, Texas.
