During the conference, 2 applicants will be awarded the Innovation Prize- a $10,000 and a $2,000 cash prize that is awarded to the two best social impact pitches that are presented at the 2016 Global Health & Innovation Conference. All conference registrants — both students and professionals, and both non-profit and for-profit organizations — are eligible to apply for the Innovation Prize. Early-stage 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. The GHIC Innovation Prize is awarded by a distinguished judging panel.
