The THRIVE | Bayer Sustainability Challenge combines Bayer Crop Sciences’ sustainability commitments and THRIVE’s Global Initiative focus on the U.N. SDGs to promote innovations that can address pressing challenges in the global agrifood chain. Together, THRIVE and Bayer aim to identify and support key startup and scaleup innovators implementing solutions that promote sustainability through reducing the environmental impact of crop protection, reducing field greenhouse gas emissions, and empowering smallholder farmers to access sustainable agricultural solutions.

Finalists will present their ideas before an audience of top agricultural leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs. One winning scaleup will receive a potential partnership with the largest crop science company in the world and an opportunity to be featured on the THRIVE | Forbes Top 50 list. One winning startup will receive investment and an opportunity to be featured at the THRIVE | Forbes Agtech Summit. Both winners will gain access to THRIVE and Bayer’s network and more!
