Announcing the WSA Global Champions!
WSA believes in cooperation over competition. That’s why every year, we award not just one, but a whole cohort of 45 purpose-driven entrepreneurs, who are invited to the Global Congress to share their best practices and learn from others. To make that happen, every winner gets their moment on stage to present their innovative digital solution, take questions from the audience, and enjoy an opportunity for follow-up networking.
To spice things up a little, Global Delegates vote for their favourite pitch in each category. At the Gala—the final event of the four-day Congress—the WSA community celebrates all winners as they receive their trophies on stage. As the cherry on top, at the end of the ceremony, the jury announces the final results of the voting for the number one pitch in each category. The crowd goes wild, and the winners make their way to the stage with Oscar-like music cheering them on as they receive this additional recognition.
So, ladies and gentlemen, it is our absolute pleasure to present to you the 9 Global Champions who took the jury’s breath away with their pitch, solution, and impact.
