Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge

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 we have built and orchestrated the largest and widest Deep Tech network as well as helped Deep Tech startups and corporations build new solutions.

About the challenge

The Global Challenge is 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.

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. To date, previous winners and finalists have already raised more than $2 billion in funding.

Applications are entirely free and open until the 23rd of September 2022.

The Challenge concludes with the Grand Finals which will take place during the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit in Paris on the 9th and 10th March 2023.
