Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge 2027
The Global Challenge takes science and technology based ventures from anywhere in the world, at any point from pre-incorporation up to Series A. One rule excludes a whole category of applicant: a team must have at least two people, so a solo founder cannot enter however far along the science is.
EUR 100,000 is shared among the finalists, awarded equity-free, and those finalists join Hello Tomorrow's Deep Tech Pioneers network.
The final is staged at the Hello Tomorrow Global Summit at NDSM-Werf in Amsterdam, an event of around 3,200 people with roughly 80 startups taking part. The call has historically opened and closed in early January - the 2026 cycle closed on 5 January 2026 - and no date has yet been published for the next round.
