UC’s Startup Innovation Challenge: 10 disruptive technologies
UC has selected 10 finalists for its 2021 Startup Innovation Challenge, held in partnership with Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC), the world’s largest tech-for-good startup competition. The chosen finalists are comprised of companies with game-changing ideas for fighting climate change, feeding the world, curing diseases and saving the day with robots that can be airdropped into disaster zones.
The finalists will pitch their startups to investors at the Global Corporate Venturing Digital Forum in late January as they compete to take home one of two $50,000 prizes. Finalists will also receive pro bono legal services, be mentored by venture capital judges and have a chance to advance as finalists in XTC’s regional startup competition. All startups that applied to the competition are still in the running for XTC.
