This competition is a UNWTO initiative, in collaboration with Wakalua (powered by Globalia), created as part of the collaboration with the United Nations Innovation Network, a common action framework by UN Agencies to develop public-private partnerships to support the SDGs. The finalists were chosen by a special jury made up of experts drawn from international banks, airlines, tourism destinations and technology platforms. Reflecting the global interest in the initiative, the 60 finalists come from 28 countries<\/strong>, with each of UNWTO\u2019s five global regions represented in the final stages.<\/p>\n

Now, the jury will work on selecting just one finalist for each of the 17 SDGs<\/strong>. Each startup will be assessed according to fixed criteria, including their ability to contribute to a specific SDG, the ease of value capture, their potential business impact and the maturity of both their product or platform and their team.<\/p>\n

This final group of 17 startups will be announced throughout January. Then, in the spring, they will be invited to pitch their ideas<\/strong> to UNWTO, its partners and investors at the flagship event of the Global Startup Competition, the UNWTO SDG Tourism Tech Adventure (TTA), due to be held in Qatar this Spring.<\/p>\n
