The International Organization for Migration, the United Nations migration agency, joins the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and partners in announcing a call for applications to participate in a youth entrepreneurship pitching event, "Start and Scale-up for SDGs."

Young entrepreneurs from around the world are invited to pitch business ideas that contribute to at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Experts will then provide comprehensive feedback on the submissions and how businesses can promote sustainable and inclusive growth through entrepreneurship in line with the UN agenda on sustainable development.

The pitch event will take place on November 15 in Geneva, Switzerland, as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, which will be held from November 12-18 in 170 countries around the world. Both UNCTAD and WIPO have been longtime partners of Global Entrepreneurship Week celebrations.
