Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship, or SAGE, is a global, non-profit organization that connects secondary school student organizations to mentors from local universities and businesses. Its mission is to advance youth entrepreneurship and community service around the world, emphasizing ethical business practices, social responsibility, civic engagement and environmental awareness.
SAGE was founded in 2002 by business professor Curtis L. DeBerg[1] from California State University, Chico,[2] There are two competition categories: socially-responsible businesses (SRB), which emphasize profit, and social enterprise businesses (SEB), which emphasize social value.
The first SAGE World Cup was held in May 2003 with teams from Poland, Mexico, Tajikistan and the United States; the program has now grown to include six U.S. states and 24 more countries. Each country conducts a national competition. The top two teams in each of the two categories—the SRB and the SEB categories—are invited to participate in an international tournament. This is called the SAGE World Cup. The rules and format of each tournament are identical.
There are more than 12,000 high school students participating in SAGE programs at about 1,200 schools around the world. The 2017 World Cup took place in Odessa, Ukraine. The champion team in the SRB category was Israel; the champion team in the SEB category was Ireland.
