Great ideas come from everywhere. What’s missing is the path to turn them into something real. Technovation provides the skills to think critically and build real solutions, along with mentors who support you and a growing network of people and opportunities that will keep opening doors long after the first project is finished. For the 12-year-old with their first prototype, the engineer leading their own venture, and every builder in between, we create the conditions for people to discover what they are capable of.
They saw a problem. They built a solution. This year’s theme was Build Brave, and 12,000 learners from 130 countries answered. From a flood-warning system to an AI study guide, meet the builders turning local problems into real solutions.

Technovation is more than a program you finish, it’s a community you grow with. Students become alums, who become mentors, then partners. Women Techmakers bring decades of expertise and keep building alongside the next generation. They come from 160 countries, including places where most of the people building AI today have never set foot. The work they ship is shaped by problems most outsiders can’t see.
