Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) World Cup

The **SAGE World Cup**, organized by **SAGE Global**, is an international competition where high school teams design, launch, and manage their own **social enterprises**—businesses that aim to solve real social or environmental problems. Students develop a venture over time, then present their business model, impact, and results to judges and peers from around the world. The program emphasizes practical skills in entrepreneurship, social impact, and teamwork, offering participants a structured way to turn ideas into action. This program is well-suited for students who are curious about **business**, **social innovation**, or **global issues**, and are willing to commit to planning, running, and evaluating a project over an extended period. Participants gain experience in areas such as market research, budgeting, project management, and impact measurement. For college applications, SAGE World Cup involvement can demonstrate: - **Leadership and initiative** through founding or managing a social enterprise - **Collaboration and communication** within a team and with community partners - **Global perspective** and engagement with real-world challenges Students who enjoy problem-solving, working with others, and taking responsibility for meaningful projects will find SAGE a strong opportunity to build concrete experience that can be clearly documented and discussed in applications, interviews, and portfolios.
