The PepsiCo Greenhouse Collaborative Accelerator has launched its Greenhouse Accelerator Program in the Asia-Pacific region to support startups and small businesses in the climate action and packaging sustainability sectors.

This program has supported over 50 companies and engaged more than 90 mentors across different continents and focus areas since 2017. They cover various regions, including the United States, Middle East and North Africa, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa and APAC.

Applications are open now and will close on May 1, 2023.
