Now in its fourth year, the competition encourages students to develop and submit innovative technology solutions that help address global challenges in support of the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“This competition provides a platform for young people to showcase their ingenuity, creativity and empathy,” said John DiChiara, global goIT program manager, TCS. “It’s their chance to participate in a global movement to create a more sustainable and inclusive future while using the challenge to develop important skills and acumen that will serve them in future jobs or education pursuits.”
This year’s goIT Global Innovator of the Year competition will consider all classroom-based entries submitted through goIT programming in 2025 and submissions to the goIT Monthly Challenge, as well as any independent submissions made before the deadline. Year-round goIT student challenges underscore TCS’ commitment to engage youth with meaningful digital innovation projects that encourage them to pursue STEM careers and global citizenship. Each is designed to inspire problem-solving and to potentially position entrants as future leaders committed to driving sustainable and inclusive solutions.
The competition invites individual students or student teams to enter by submitting a one-to-three-minute video pitch, a presentation, or a written proposal describing how their technology innovation specifically addresses the world problem. Students can target the 17 SDGs which are most important to them or their communities.
In early 2026, competitions will be held around the world, with finalists from key geographies advancing to the annual goIT Global Innovator of the Year final presentation round later in the year. All entrants will be honored with a certificate of achievement as they compete for rewards including a chance to bring their concept to life, as well as gift cards, mentoring experiences, speaking opportunities, and more.
In North America, parents, guardians, or teachers can submit students’ innovations at https://on.tcs.com/AMERS-IOTY through 11:59 p.m. ET, December 31, 2025.
