Deadline: 18th February 2022 | The Challenge aims to find and support solutions that will empower women and close the equality gap ensuring a prosperous and sustainable world.

The winning solution will join the third cohort of organisations supported by the 100+ Accelerator. Participation in the program includes three key elements:

Pilot
The first three months of the program take place in-market (executing a pilot in a specific geographic zone). The start of the program will require three to five days in New York City for a minimum of 1 and maximum of 3 company representatives (preferably CEO/CTO).

Ongoing mentorship
Following this phase of the program, 100+ Sustainability Accelerator will provide in-person and remote corporate development and programming to further support startups as they scale. Pilot execution will continue, along with potential investment opportunities from AB InBev and partners.

Investment
100+ Accelerator will invest up to $100K in the winning solution through an uncapped convertible note. The goal of this investment is to bring startups into the AB InBev investment portfolio and help unlock the value that this can provide in terms of a closer relationship to AB InBev, globally, as well as the potential for future investment from AB InBev and its partners.

One Young World Summit
In addition, one representative of the winning solution will be invited to participate in the One Young World Summit 2022 which takes place in Tokyo from 16 – 19 May.
