About us

Vireka is where the next generation tackles real-world medical challenges head-on.
We’re a youth-led nonprofit that runs global competitions where teams are given a healthcare crisis, a set budget, and a mission: build the best solution.

With limited resources, teams create bold, actionable proposals. Winners gain international recognition and network with top PhD mentors, opening doors to research, innovation, and impact.

At Vireka, we don’t just imagine the future of healthcare — we build it.
