Want to witness forward-thinking entrepreneurs from around the globe pitch breakthrough technologies aimed at revolutionizing agriculture through live “shark tank”-style presentations?

Join us in October as our three Innovate for Impact Challenge finalists compete for up to $50,000 in funding at the Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue. Startups are evaluated by a panel of experts on criteria including innovation, market potential, sustainability, scalability and replicability.

Winners will receive: $50,000 for first place, $10,000 for second and $5,000 for third, with travel and accommodations in Des Moines covered. All three startups will gain international exposure and access to global leaders in agriculture, investment and policy in alignment with the World Food Prize Foundation’s mission to elevate innovations and inspire action toward alleviating global hunger.
