Student Idea Challenge

Amsterdam office

Nov 5, 2013

Do you have an idea to improve society? We can offer you a platform to spread the idea and make it happen!

Tell us about your idea for social innovation by sending a message through Facebook or at tedxamsterdam@mckinsey.com and you could be invited to give a 5-minute pitch at the Student Idea Challenge at McKinsey on November 5, alongside other inspiring talks (including TED speakers)!

One lucky winner will be awarded the Max Geldens Social Innovation Award (including €1000 in funding for their winning idea) and a ticket to TEDxAmsterdam at the Concertgebouw on November 6.

Any idea that contributes to a better and healthier society is welcome—from enhancing working conditions and community development to improving teaching or healthy living… and more!

If your idea gets selected, you will join the other finalists for presentation training and coaching from McKinsey’s communication specialists on Friday, October 25. Furthermore, McKinsey consultants will support and coach you to put the finishing touches on your pitch.

Deadline for admission: October 16
