For 48 hours, the sun will never set on innovation. We’re tackling some of the biggest challenges facing our planet. Join us as we tackle global need statements ranging topics from Environmental Affairs, Energy Solutions, Social Issues, Improving Developing Nations and Resource Equity.

IFTP will challenge you to put your theory into practice by solving real-world problems. You will focus on developing products to make the world a better place for the inventors of tomorrow. IFTP aims to motivate student innovators, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers to come together, apply design thinking, and find solutions to difficult and wide-ranging problems. You will form teams of 4-6 students and work to design and prototype a solution for a wide range of global concerns. At the same time, students from across the globe will be tackling the same issues, allowing you to collaborate and learn from peers all over the world. Mentors will be available and the teams will present their solutions to judges for a chance to win more than $500 worth in prizes.
