2026 Harvard President's Innovation Challenge Awards Ceremony

Join the Harvard Innovation Labs for our annual celebration of innovation, community, and entrepreneurship at Harvard.

Tickets for the in-person event will open to the Harvard community on April 6 and to the public on or before April 22.

The theme of this year’s competition is “What Moves You” — and our founders represent the diverse paths to entrepreneurship and how early ideas can lead to real impact.

We’ll hear live pitches from 25 finalists and reveal which ventures will receive a share of $500,000+ in funding, courtesy of the Bertarelli Foundation.

Get excited for this year's event by watching highlights from last year.

HOW TO JOIN

In-person: Join us in person for the awards ceremony in Klarman Hall in Allston, Massachusetts. An after party will follow at Schwartz Pavilion (directly outside of Klarman Hall) with food, drinks, and a chance to meet and mingle with the finalists and our broader innovation community.

Online: Can't make it to campus? Join us online from anywhere in the world for an immersive digital experience. We'll share the livestream link as the date gets closer.
