NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Global Health & Innovation Conference 2016, sponsored by Unite for Sight, will be held April 16-17 at Yale University, New Haven, Conn. In the meantime, applicants have until Jan. 31 to sign up for the GHIC Innovation Prize, a $10,000 and a $2,000 cash prize awarded to the two best social impact pitches that are presented at the conference.

All conference registrants – both students and professionals, and both nonprofit and for-profit organizations – are eligible to apply for the Innovation Prize. Early-stage (less than three years old) pitches are eligible for the $2,000 cash award, and established-stage pitches are eligible for the $10,000 cash award. The Innovation Prize supports outstanding ideas, programs and organizations which are locally developed and locally responsible.
