Global SUN Pitch Competition 2020

The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Pitch Competition, organised by the SUN Business Network, harnesses innovative solutions for improving the availability of affordable and nutritious foods by connecting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets with technical assistance and investment opportunities. Now in its second year, the competition seeks to identify SMEs that can provide big, inspiring, and disruptive investment solutions that respond to food system innovation challenges such as food design, post-harvest loss reduction, market connectivity, and food safety. 

The Global SUN Pitch Competition 2020 will take place as a virtual event on 30th July. The competition draws 21 innovative SMEs from national pitch competitions which took place in 24 countries across Africa and Asia, who will pitch their innovative nutrition solution for a chance to win cash and technical assistance prizes.

The competition is sponsored by Cargill, Royal DSM, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP), with the support of AGREA, ANDE, BoP Innovation Center and Food Industry Asia (FIA).
