The NFTE Showcase is a signature global event that brings together student entrepreneurs, ages 15-22, from the U.S. and NFTE’s Global Innovation Network (GIN). Over the course of four days, students participate in a series of private events focused on learning, coaching, and global connection that culminate in a public showcase and multi-stage final pitch competition.
