Shark Tank Global (2024)
Act Now Campaign
Sharks, Dragons and Lions from the award-winning television franchise “Shark Tank” came together at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to learn about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how they can take #ActNow on the most pressing challenges for people and the planet.
The visit to the UN was featured in the U.S. as part of the series’ season 15 finale. The U.S. Sharks – tycoon investors Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary – were joined by six stars from other international versions of the show: Manjit Minhas from Canada’s “Dragons’ Den, Dr. Catriona Wallace from Australia’s “Shark Tank,” Aman Gupta from India’s “Shark Tank,” Elias Aalto from Finland’s “Lions’ Den,” Carol Paiffer from Brazil’s “Shark Tank” and Nishita Shah from Thailand’s “Shark Tank.”
While at the UN, the Sharks, Dragons and Lions were briefed by leading experts and high-level UN officials who impressed upon them that they, as business leaders and entrepreneurs, have the power to make a real difference achieving the SDGs, the blueprint adopted by world leaders for a better future, peace and prosperity for all.
The business leaders rallied behind a major social impact call-to-action encouraging the franchise’s hundreds of millions of viewers around the world to do their part by taking individual action on the SDGs through the UN’s Act Now campaign.
