The SDG Innovation Hackathon (SDG Marathon) is a global youth-focused social innovation program dedicated to advancing the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a rapidly emerging international academic and practice-based initiative, the Hackathon brings together young innovators to develop creative, research-driven, and action-oriented solutions for global challenges.

Jointly organized by the International Centre for UNESCO ASPnet, The GreenLion Global, and Global Youth Philanthropy (GYP), the program is supported by a strong coalition of global partners and educational institutions.

As a long-time advocate for the SDGs, Global Youth Philanthropy is committed to empowering young people worldwide through innovation programs, leadership training, and engagement at United Nations conferences and international forums. Whether you are an academic explorer, a social innovator, or a future leader interested in technology, sustainability, humanities, or business, the 2025 SDG Innovation Hackathon invites you to join a transformative journey of global learning and innovation.
