Who we are
Top Young Innovators is a global platform dedicated to discovering and nurturing the most creative, inventive, and forward-thinking young minds from around the world. Our mission is to cultivate a generation of children who think differently—who question, create, and solve the most pressing real-world problems.
Through this competition, we provide a powerful launchpad and a supportive innovation ecosystem that empowers young inventors to transform bold ideas into practical and viable solutions for today’s most urgent challenges.
To help participants bring their ideas to life or shape one from the beginning, we’ve partnered with one of the world’s most respected innovation organizations: DiscoverSTEM.
About Our Innovation Partner – DiscoverSTEM
DiscoverSTEM, headquartered in Texas, USA, is a pioneer in nurturing innovation and creativity in young minds. Through this partnership, every child in the competition, whether they already have an idea or are just beginning to explore, will have the opportunity to receive expert guidance, mentorship, and structured support to develop or refine their innovation.
DiscoverSTEM has an outstanding track record of guiding over 600 children aged 5 to 18 in identifying global problems and developing patentable solutions. In just the last two years alone, more than 314 students have been granted patents in the United States and other countries.
Their impact was recognized by the Texas State Capitol in March 2025 through House Resolution #403, honoring DiscoverSTEM’s role in shaping the next generation of innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs.
Further underscoring their excellence, the founders of DiscoverSTEM were awarded the prestigious George Washington Honor Medal – a U.S. National Award celebrating their revolutionary contributions to education.
