The World Food Prize Foundation, in collaboration with America's Cultivation Corridor, hosts the Innovate for Impact Challenge—a pioneering initiative dedicated to accelerating agricultural technology (AgTech) innovation. This Challenge seeks to identify and support early-stage, tech-driven startups whose transformative solutions address the critical challenges of global food security and sustainability.

Each year, ten outstanding finalists are selected to compete in the ABH Grand Finale pitch competition, where they showcase their businesses for a chance to win a share of $1.5 million in grant funding.

They will consider applications requesting awards up to $150,000 USD per project, with a grant duration of up to 1 year.

First launched in 2011, the Orange Social Venture Prize in Africa and the Middle East (OSVP) identifies, rewards, and supports entrepreneurial projects that use technology to address social and environmental challenges.
