The Entrepreneurship World Cup is open for 2021 and is accepting applications from St. Lucians under the theme “Building Resilience through Entrepreneurship. We can. We will.” in celebration of our 42nd Independence.

In 2021, EWC is aiming to expand past the 175,000 contestants from 200+ countries which it had in its first year. The program offers a chance to pitch on a global stage for a share of US$1 million in cash prizes plus additional investment opportunities and another US$750,000 in in-kind support.

SLUDTERA is the official national organizer for ST. LUCIA, helping entrepreneurs across the country start and scale.

“ SLUDERA is proud to once again host EWC St. Lucia. This year our mandate is to work with and empower exceptional startups in various fields to showcase their expertise to the St. Lucian community and the rest of the world. The competition will be a little different this year. We will be hosting a virtual 5-day summit which will include a preliminary competition and the national finals. The Summit will consist of panel discussions, Q&A's, interviews, giveaways and of course, the pitch competitions. We are also encouraging all St. Lucian entrepreneurs who qualify to take advantage of this life changing opportunity. ”

But EWC is more than just a global pitch competition with a shot at life-changing prizes. It elevates entrepreneurs from all stages—idea-stage, early-stage, growth-stage or beyond— by providing them with tools and resources to grow their venture.

EWC Accelerates is a virtual training and mentorship program that helps entrepreneurs hone their skills and increase their chances of winning their national competitions – as well as those who advance to the Global Finals.

The EWC online platform also offers all contestants who complete an application, access to more than US$25,000 in perks from partners such as Google Cloud, Hubspot, Stripe and more.

National Finals competitions are held through June 2021. In November 2021, 100 startups will be flown to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to participate in the EWC Accelerates program for an intensive startup bootcamp and to compete in the EWC Global Finals.
