Opportunity description
Industry challenge
Across APAC, sustainability startups are developing solutions with the potential to transform the food and beverage value chain. Yet many promising innovations struggle to move from proof of concept to real operational use. Scaling requires more than technical validation. It requires access to industry expertise, live business environments, decision makers, and a clear pathway to adoption.
The PepsiCo Greenhouse Program APAC 2026: The IMPACT Edition is designed to help close that gap. The program supports selected startups through grant support, PepsiCo mentorship, market insight, and pilot based collaboration with PepsiCo as a corporate end user.
This edition focuses on helping solutions move closer to practical deployment across PepsiCo’s value chain. By working with innovators in areas such as circularity, sustainable agriculture, climate and circularity, the program aims to accelerate solutions that can deliver measurable business and sustainability impact across the region.
Current opportunity
PepsiCo’s Greenhouse Program invites investors, strategic partners, corporates and industry from APAC region and beyond to join them at their Singapore Showcase (in-person and virtually) to explore and connect with their 2026 cohort.
This year’s cohort includes five Greenhouse Program alumni with solutions spanning logistics efficiency, sustainable agriculture, emissions reduction and circularity systems. These are:
- Adiona (Australia, 2023 alumni): An AI-powered logistics optimisation platform improving route planning and fleet efficiency with potential to reduce Scope 3 emissions across bottler networks.
- X-Centric (Australia, 2024 alumni): Digital soil analytics platform enabling more precise soil health measurement, helping optimise inputs. This has the potential to support PepsiCo’s regenerative agriculture and Scope 3 ambitions.
- Beijing AIForce Tech (China, 2025 alumni): Electric agricultural machinery that automates key farming processes, enabling reductions in emissions and labor dependency while improving productivity for growers.
- Takachar (Thailand, 2024 alumni): Biochar technology that converts crop residues into a soil-enhancing material, helping reduce open burning and support carbon sequestration across agricultural supply chains.
- Bali Waste Cycle (Indonesia, 2025 alumni): Decentralised waste processing model enabling the recovery of low-value plastics, supporting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) readiness, and strengthening recycling supply chains.
The program culminates in a Singapore Showcase on Thursday 15 October, where startups will share progress and explore further commercial opportunities. If you’d like to attend the Singapore Showcase (in-person or via livestream) please register your interest via "Visit website" button above.
