100+ Accelerator Cohort 7

About

The 100+ Accelerator was launched by AB InBev in 2018 to help the company reach its ambitious sustainability goals faster by finding startups that could deliver breakthrough advancements across key sustainability pillars. In its first two cohorts, more than half of the startups secured long-term contracts with AB InBev. In 2020, industry giants The Coca-Cola Company, Colgate-Palmolive, and Unilever embarked on a transformative journey with 100+ Accelerator. Last year, we welcomed Danone as our fifth partner, expanding our collective impact on the world's most pressing sustainability challenges. This June, we’re thrilled to announce Mondelēz International as the newest corporate partner to join the 100+ Accelerator. With Mondelēz International on board, we're expanding our ability to support bold startups tackling critical environmental and social challenges — from sustainable packaging and climate action to circular supply chains and beyond. Together, we're forging powerful partnerships, driving innovation, and paving the way for a greener, more sustainable tomorrow. In its first six cohorts, the 100+ Accelerator has worked with 190 startups in 40 countries.
