Apply now for the Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge 8th Edition 2022! A renowned international startup competition organized by Hello Tomorrow since 2014. It is uniquely designed to address the needs of early-stage deep tech startups across all industries.
Hello Tomorrow was created in 2011 by a group of individuals convinced that science has the potential to change the world for the better, but that the traditional model of technology transfer to bring solutions from lab to market and from idea to impact could not rise to this challenge. Since then they have built and orchestrated the largest and widest Deep Tech network as well as helping Deep Tech startups and corporations build new solutions.
The Challenge gives deep tech and science-based entrepreneurs around the globe a platform for their projects, providing opportunities for equity-free funding, global visibility and connections with key players in the deep tech ecosystem.
