We invite business school students from around the world to participate in this challenge by submitting a 3-minute long video with an innovative pitch on how to support women entrepreneurs in a specific sector, country, or region.
The International Trade Centre (ITC) has launched its first-ever video pitch competition for youth ahead of International Women’s Day on 8 March 2019.
Business students! Submit a video pitching your innovative idea to support women entrepreneurs to win our Women’s Day competition and a trip to ITC’s flagship event!

Judging submissions
A jury of five global leaders will meet in Geneva to review the videos and select a winner on International Women’s Day, taking into account feedback from a live audience.
Pitches will be analysed on five criteria: innovation; relevance; feasibility; expected outcome on women’s empowerment in business or on women’s lives; and presentation.
Awarding the winner
The winner/winning team will be awarded travel and accommodation for one individual to the World Export Development Forum 2019 to interact with business leaders from around the world, participate in sessions and access an international business network.
