Purpose driven employee development

When your employees mentor Technovation students through building an AI prototype, the experience becomes a real project that matters, and that personal investment results in real, lasting learning and development.

Our mentors come away with hands-on AI building experience, leadership practice, and cross-functional fluency, and it changes how they work.

The AI Forward Alliance

Technovation’s AI Forward Alliance (TAIFA) unites the biggest names in tech and philanthropy around one goal: preparing 25 million young people to succeed in an AI-driven world.

Members fund Technovation’s programs in 160 countries and upskill their own employees through mentorship, judging, and speaking opportunities.

As a community of practice, they meet monthly to share candid insights from inside their own companies, and are regularly joined by experts on workforce development, AI education, and public policy who help the group navigate what’s coming.

Google
17 year partnership

Google is our longest running partnership, co-creating many education initiatives in our early years as Iridescent Learning and hosting our 2017 Technovation World Summit. In 2025 they entrusted Technovation with Women Techmakers, their global community for women in technology. In addition to engaging nearly 1,000 Google volunteers to date, supporting development of Technovation’s AI curriculum since 2018, Google currently employs several Technovation alums. In 2026, Technovation student Aarvi K. was featured alongside founder Tara Chklovski in its Emmy-nominated series, Where the Internet Lives.

Intel
9 year partnership

From our first project together in 2014 creating mechanical robots inspired by nature, to supporting nearly a thousand girls across Latin America, Intel is the kind of partner who understands that preparing communities for the future of work involves a spectrum of support. They were a gracious host in the early years of our World Summit annual event. We collaborated on the collective impact project, She Will Connect in Arizona, and are now continuing work together engaging teachers across the US to bring AI education to the builders of the future.

Boeing
8 year partnership

Our partnership with Boeing began with 22 engineering design challenges, from safe-stopping robots to long-span wings, now used by learners worldwide. Boeing engineers mentor Technovation teams building real AI apps, while sharpening their own leadership and communication skills. This year, Boeing hosts the Technovation World Summit in Bengaluru, India.

ServiceNow
6 year partnership

ServiceNow has been an integral part of our volunteer force for over 6 years and supporting Technovation alums in their entrepreneurship journey. They are dynamic co-hosts, supporting countless events including World Summit Pitch Practices, a United Nations General Assembly sideline panel, and countless judging parties.

TE Connectivity
6 year partnership

As one of the founding members of the AI Forward Alliance (TAIFA), TE Connectivity has consistently shown up as an investor in the innovators of the future, supporting roughly 35,000 participants. They are a trusted thought partner on workforce development, and a gracious host for pitch practice for the Technovation Challenge finalists.

EY
4 year partnership

Over 1,000 EY professionals have engaged with Technovation as judges and mentors. We are currently collaborating on a new workforce development program for their employees centered around using AI for Good. Technovation alums have presented alongside EY leaders at major industry events including Mobile World Congress, AI For Good Summit, and more.

01 — Sponsor a program, region, or cohort

Fund the work where it happens.

Underwrite Technovation Challenge in a country where the chapter is growing. Sponsor an AI Ventures Accelerator cohort. Fund regional pitch events, Technovation World Summit, or a co-branded curriculum.

02 — Engage your employees

Real work beats training.

Skills-based volunteering through judging and mentorship puts your team to work learning how to think through open-ended problems, adapt to changing AI tools and workflows, and build something that matters to a real community.

In 2026, Technovation engaged 8,400 Mentors and 4,500 judges in skills-based volunteering.

03 — Hire from our network

We build with the best.

Most companies recruit from talent that has not built anything yet. Technovation's 210,000 alums have built 25,000 real-world prototypes. They include engineers building at top tech companies, founders running funded ventures, researchers publishing at the cutting edge of science and AI, and public-sector technologists deploying solutions in their own communities.

What hiring partners get:
Direct job channel.
Post roles to the alum network for open positions, or connect with recent alums for technical internships and apprenticeship cohorts before the rest of the industry reaches them.
Hiring events and recruiting partnerships.
Host alum site visits at the World Summit, AI Ventures Accelerator Demo Day, regional pitch events, or in your own offices.
