From 11 to 14 November 2024, the heads of start-ups seeking funding and visibility are expected to attend the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. In front of a panel of agritech and fintech experts, they will present their innovative solutions and explain why they deserve support and global expansion.
The Global Tech Innovator competition run by KPMG Private Enterprise, an entity of KPMG International specialising in tax, audit and advisory services, is back. In 2024, the initiative will pit start-ups in the agritech and fintech sectors from 24 countries in Africa, Europe, Latin America, Asia, etc. against each other.
The innovators who will defend their ideas, their business models and their trajectories will not be known until 11 November 2024, the date chosen for the launch of the Web Summit at which the Global Tech Innovator will be held. The event will be hosted by the city of Lisbon in Portugal.
Entrepreneurs are selected according to a number of criteria, including: “having been active in the start-up ecosystem for five years, generating revenues of between $1 million and $15 million, or having raised at least $500,000 in equity capital”, explains KPMG Private Enterprise. The winner of this fourth competition will receive mentoring from experts in finance and technology, as well as media exposure to help them popularise and accelerate their project on a global scale.

The winner is Brazilian-born Diego Stone, CEO of Krilltech. The start-up develops nanobiotechnological solutions to increase crop productivity in an environmentally sustainable way.
