What: Radicle Corn Value Chain Challenge Sponsored by US Corn Farmers
When: October 22, 2024 at 2:30p PST/4:30pm CST
Where: Hotel Nikko, San Francisco
Who: Four finalists will present their companies in a pitch day competition, to win up to $1M in investment from Radicle and US Corn Farmers.
The Challenge sets out to invest a minimum of US $1.5M in start-up and growth companies worldwide whose innovative technologies and business models create new uses for corn and long-term sustainable demand for corn production. These companies are expected to be developing new uses for corn that result in replacements for fossil fuel-derived materials with plant-derived materials such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), drop-in chemicals and plastics, compostable materials, and as yet unidentified products and product categories that could be new areas for corn-derived products to be used.
