The winning company will be awarded the THRIVE Global Impact Challenge Award and will have the opportunity to pitch live at the THRIVE Global Impact Summit in Silicon Valley. The summit will host the announcement of the overall winner, which will take place on November 7.
Finalists of the THRIVE Global Impact Challenge will also receive two complimentary tickets to attend the THRIVE Global Impact Summit and pre-summit networking reception.
African companies engaged in innovation and sustainability are encouraged to participate. Eligibility criteria typically focus on startups and companies developing impactful technologies or solutions, but detailed country-specific requirements should be checked on the official THRIVE challenge website or announcements.
Interested parties can apply for the THRIVE Global Impact Challenge through the website. The application process is currently open.
By participating in the THRIVE Global Impact Challenge, African agri-food startups have the chance to showcase their innovative solutions to investors, government officials, and industry leaders, contributing to a more sustainable and prosperous future for agriculture.
