Our History
100+ Accelerator was created to speed the green transition of global business and supply chains.
Founded in 2018 within AB InBev, 100+ Accelerator was born to engage startups that could solve key sustainability challenges for large corporate partners. The program was built to help those startups validate their solution within AB InBev’s operations and, if successful, scale the solution globally. In addition, the program offered expert training, mentorship, preferred payment terms, access to tools and funding.
In 2021, The Coca-Cola Company, Colgate-Palmolive Company and Unilever partnered with AB InBev in the development of the 100+ Accelerator. Collaboration is key as no one company can solve today’s sustainability challenges alone. Together the four corporate partners can overhaul supply chains and scale innovative solutions to the world to create a better, more sustainable world and a new way of doing business
Collaboratingfor a better world
In 2018, the 100+ Accelerator was launched to support the achievement of the UN SDGs and exponentially to fuel the growth of startups developing critical sustainability solutions. The program is co-sponsored by Anheuser-Busch InBev, Coca-Cola, Colgate-Palmolive, and Unilever. Through this partnership, four of the largest consumer goods companies in the world open up their supply chains and leverage their teams to work with startups to maximize collective impact.
By funding up to 100K USD per startup pilot, the partners test and validate each solution to then scale and transform their global supply chains. Such collaborative partnerships allow industries to work together using their scale, resources, and purchasing power to fuel sustainable innovation. The 100+ Accelerator has accelerated 116 companies in more than 30 countries.
Current Challenges
The 100+ Accelerator has worked with its corporate partners to identify the thorniest sustainability challenges in their supply chains. Do you have a potential solution? Check out the list below to see if you qualify. If you prove the viability of your solution through the pilot phase of the 100+ program, you may end up with one (or more!) new corporate clients.
