Seedstars is working with the International Telecommunication Union’s AI for Good Innovation Factory to identify early-stage AI startups addressing major global challenges.
Selected startups will have the opportunity to pitch on a global stage, connect with investors and mentors, and compete for a $20K grand prize. The pitching session is scheduled for 8 December 2026, with applications closing on 23 November 2026.
Eligible startups must have AI at the core of their product or service and demonstrate positive impact for people or the planet. They must have been operational for at least six months, have a prototype, beta product or MVP, and have raised less than $1M in total funding.
Applicants also need an established online presence, a clear and validated business plan, and a pitch covering their business idea, target market, business model and team.
The programme is open to startups from around the world, including companies working on challenges linked to access to capital, productivity, skills and climate resilience, according to the announcement.
