We are searching for
Sponsors
The initiative is funded and enabled by strong partnerships with industry leading foundations, public partners and industry. These sponsorships can vary in size from becoming a main sponsor behind the initiative financing the machine room behind it all to sponsoring individual activities in the programme.
We are still looking for both main and supportive sponsors for 2024 NGDA, so please contact us if you or your organisation are interested.
Challenge Partners
The young academics track builds around the students solving real life challenges proposed by a partnering organisation. As a challenge partner you get to propose a sustainability and inclusion challenge that links to one or several of the themes of the congress. We then match your challenge with 3-5 student teams from our partnering countries and support their process in developing relevant ideas and conceptual solutions that will be showcased at the congress.
Collaborators
There are many ways in which you and your organisation can join the initiative apart from providing sponsorships or challenges. We are looking for mentors, speakers, judges, companies to visit and much more.
