ISEF Sponsorship Opportunities

ISEF SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The projects created by ISEF finalists represent leading ideas that address important questions and challenges facing our world. Each project is assigned to one of 21 different categories. In 2019, there were approximately 50–100 projects in each category. Grand Awards Category Sponsors provide $300,000 per awards category. This contribution funds the awards for first through fourth place in each category, with 15%–20% of the sponsorship going to the awards purse. Your contribution will also provide general program support for ISEF. Sponsor a Grand Awards Category
