THRIVE Global Impact Challenge 2026

Overview
A Global Challenge transforming agrifood innovation
The challenges facing agriculture and food systems have never been more urgent. From climate resilience and food security to sustainability and equitable access, the future of our global food system depends on bold, scalable innovation.

The THRIVE Global Impact Challenge is a worldwide search for startups developing breakthrough solutions to the most critical challenges across the agrifood value chain.
Finalists compete for up to $1M in investment while pitching on stage in Silicon Valley at the THRIVE Global Impact Summit.

This is more than a pitch competition — it’s a platform to accelerate partnerships, capital, and global expansion

Applications are now open
We’re looking for ambitious, purpose-driven founders with solutions that can deliver real-world impact.
Finalists gain global visibility, direct access to corporate partners and investors, and the opportunity to present their innovations on a world stage at the THRIVE Global Impact Summit.
