“future FOOD” SHARK PITCH
Scaling investment into regenerative businesses represents one of the biggest opportunities to improve food security, create jobs, strengthen rural livelihoods, support COVID-recovery, eliminate hunger, protect nature, mobilise new investment and deliver on development and climate goals.
The “Future Food” Shark Pitch brings entrepreneurs who are pioneering sustainable food solutions to pitch to a panel of judges seeking compelling investment opportunities in this space.
The Shark Pitch tackles barriers to investment in high-impact food businesses by:
Improving quality of investor engagement by providing feedback to entrepreneurs to strengthen pitch materials
Unlocking access to finance for regenerative business models by matchmaking investors & entrepreneurs
Showcasing high quality pipeline opportunities
Creating a community of best practice to share learnings to help replicate and scale nascent business models
Enhancing awareness of sustainable business models as an investible asset class
The Shark Tank event is supported by Partnerships for Forests, an incubator for regenerative businesses in tropical forests as well as the Blended Finance Taskforce, the Food & Land Use Coalition and WBCSD which hosts the Agri-SME Digital Finance Platform.
