SDG Pitch Event Series
The SDG Pitch Event: Building a Sustainable Future, organised in collaboration with ETH Entrepreneurship and the ETH Student Project House (SPH), is an annual pitching competition for early-stage student projects that seek to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The annual event brings together ETH students who are passionate about advancing the Sustainable Development Goals through entrepreneurship and connects them with the ETH entrepreneurship ecosystem. Student teams pitch their ideas or projects in a 3-minute format to both an audience and an expert jury. The jury, composed of sustainability experts, founders, and startup ecosystem professionals, selects the project with the greatest potential impact, while the audience votes for the best pitch.
Prizes:
- Jury Award: CHF 1,500
- Audience Award: CHF 500
All participating teams receive professional pitch training from coaches at the Student Project House to help them refine their presentations and maximize their impact.
Next Edition: 19 November 2026, 17:00-19:00, followed by apéro
