What Is NFTE Youth Entrepreneurship Showcase?
The NFTE Youth Entrepreneurship Showcase is the rebranded successor to NFTE's National and World Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge series. It is not a direct public-entry contest. Students generally participate through an NFTE course, school, network member or Global Innovation Network partner, attend a local or metro showcase and, if selected, advance through regional competition.
Local participation includes workshops, coaching, peer learning, networking and business expos; not every participant must be on a pitching team. Advancing U.S. teams compete in the November 18, 2026 national semifinals in New York, and the top U.S. team reaches the November 19 world final against teams from more than 20 countries. The four-day global event serves student entrepreneurs ages 15-22.
