About this opportunity
The Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge is regarded as one of the world's premier competitions for deep-tech startups. Unlike traditional startup competitions that focus on software businesses, Hello Tomorrow specifically supports ventures built on scientific discoveries and advanced technologies. Previous finalists have collectively raised more than US$3 billion after participating in the programme.
Selected startups become Deep Tech Pioneers, receiving invitations to the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit, direct meetings with hundreds of venture capital firms and corporate innovation teams, and opportunities to pitch to an international jury. The programme is particularly valuable for founders commercializing university research or breakthrough technologies.
