What is SAGE?

SAGE is an international business plan competition that allows high school students to apply their learning outside the classroom. The SAGE mission is to encourage youth entrepreneurship and community service around the world, emphasizing:

  • Global Perspective
  • Ethical Business Practices
  • Civic & Social Responsibility
  • Environmental Awareness

Students compete for prizes money and may have the opportunity to travel to regional, national, and international conferences.

How Can I Get My Business Involved With SAGE?

A key element of any SAGE team's success is its interaction with its Business Advisory Board (BAB), a group of successful entrepreneurs, business executives, and civic leaders. Each team is required to have a minimum of three BAB members, though most successful teams have many more.
