MAKING VALUABLE CONNECTIONS

Selected startups gain invaluable access to the experts in the Get in the Ring network by participating in 1-on-1 meetings with industry leaders. Sometimes, one meeting is all it takes to foster a game-changing collaboration!

GLOBAL EXPOSURE FOR YOUR STARTUP

Applicants have the chance to test and prove their solutions with partners and be recognized as a leading impact startup on an international stage. Winning solutions will be displayed on our website and communicated across our marketing channels to our global network of investors, corporates and governments.

DOING GOOD BY DOING BUSINESS

We focus is on solutions that contribute to solving global challenges in Food and Energy – on a social and humanitarian level – to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The key to accelerating these solutions lies in exposing them to partnership and collaboration opportunities with local and national governments, corporates and NGOs.
