The THRIVE LATAM Challenge is part of THRIVE's Global Initiative which aims to enable the needed transformations in Latin America’s food value chain as highlighted in the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Challenge will accomplish this by identifying, promoting, accelerating, and investing in innovative early-stage Latin American startups that are creating new and alternative paths for a more efficient and sustainable global food system.

One winning startup will receive the THRIVE LATAM Challenge Award, brand exposure, access to the THRIVE ecosystem, and a spot at pitch finals for the award-winning THRIVE VIII Accelerator Program (March-June 2022) which includes investment and pitching at the THRIVE | Forbes Demo Day. Check out last year's Demo Day here. The winner will also receive automatic acceptance as an Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC) finalist.

THRIVE will also present two recognition awards: People's Choice Award and Female Founder Award.
