Our very own extraordinary Halli Manolakos and Shivani Ghai kicked off the day with an overview of the next three days, helping laureates understand the “why” behind EXTRA ’24 and the importance of cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset. This mindset is an invaluable asset for young professionals and businesses globally.
Laureates incubated their ideas and evolved their pitches in teams, working with our collaborative partner, The Delta team, to break down problem statements and ensure their solutions are viable.
To close an extraordinary day, our laureates and the team at Students for a Better Future dedicated 67 minutes of their time in honor of Nelson Mandela, make hundreds of sandwiches for children in support of our partner organization, A Reaching Hand.
The day concluded with a CEO dinner to honor all the extraordinary laureates who are shining the torch bright!
