This year, students can win up to $20,000 in funding, as well as mentoring and office space to advance their venture ideas. The Initiative offers rolling admissions with two stages for advancement. Students can be placed in an incubator stage or an accelerator stage. Non-profit and for-profit initiatives are both encouraged. And students have responded with a number of innovative ventures. The G3Box project focuses on converting steel shipping containers into medical grade clinics by outfitting them with the basic components of power, ventilation, potable water, and insulation to create sustainable medical clinics that address critical health needs in poor countries.</span>
