Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship
Our Mission & Vision
To create the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders whose innovations and social enterprises address the major unmet needs of our global community. Our SAGE teenage entrepreneurs are sharing a common purpose: to make the world a better place.
Our Impact:
For nearly 20 years, SAGE Global has empowered teenage entrepreneurs to create real businesses that address urgent social issues. Our network, active in over 30 countries on five continents, continues to expand, driving innovation and global impact through education, mentorship, and entrepreneurship.
Global Reach:
From Ireland to Nigeria, Vietnam to Brazil, SAGE entrepreneurs are creating real-world impacts. Whether recycling waste, innovating water-saving technologies, or crafting sustainable products, our teens are leading efforts to address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and inspire lasting change.
How we make an Impact
Empowering Teen Entrepreneurs:
We unlock the potential of teens aged 13-19 by equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to create businesses that address urgent social challenges. Beyond launching their ventures, teens gain hands-on experience in problem-solving, leadership, and innovation, fostering a generation of socially conscious business leaders.
SAGE Leadership:
Our National Coordinators play a vital role in nurturing young entrepreneurs by sharing their own expertise and fostering a culture of mentorship. Through their guidance, they create opportunities for youth to learn from real-world experiences, helping them navigate challenges and maximize their impact. This collaborative approach ensures that entrepreneurial knowledge is passed on to inspire and empower the next generation. Contact us to become a part of SAGE Leadership >
Coaching & Mentorship:
A global network of business leaders, educators, and university students supports our teens, enhancing their business strategies and preparing them for success. Coaches provide tailored advice on everything from crafting business plans to refining presentations, helping participants grow their skills and confidence while building connections with industry experts.

Global Competitions:
SAGE competitions are more than just contests; they are platforms for networking, collaboration, and global recognition. Participants start locally, advancing to national and potentially global stages like the prestigious SAGE World Cup. At these events, teens showcase their businesses to industry leaders, peers who are becoming leaders themselves, and a global audience. This exposure allows them to exchange ideas, gain invaluable feedback, and establish connections that propel their businesses forward. Through these competitions, participants not only grow as entrepreneurs but also inspire others, building a global community of youth-driven innovation. Competition Info >
