AI for Good Innovation Factory is the leading UN-based startup pitching and acceleration platform that helps start-ups grow and scale their innovative AI-powered and SDG-driven solutions. Organized by the International Telecommunication Union, it offers opportunities including global pitching, funding connections, top-tier mentoring, VIP experiences, exclusive events access, speaking opportunities, participation in the Startup Acceleration Program, networking with global leaders, and media exposure.
The platform attracts hundreds of startups annually who apply to participate in the monthly online or in-person pitching sessions. These sessions feature startups on a global scale and through specialized sessions that focus on regions and countries, or different sectors (agriculture, climate, energy, healthcare, smart cities).
The year-long competition culminates with the top finalist of each pitching session participating in the prestigious AI for Good Innovation Factory Grand Finale at the AI for Good Global Summit, the final demo event where startups pitch to a panel of investors, VCs, and philanthropists for potential funding.
