PepsiCo Greenhouse Accelerator

Now in its fourth year in APAC, PepsiCo’s Greenhouse program builds on its track record of launching more than 22 pilots from over 30 startups, reflecting PepsiCo’s focus on testing emerging solutions within its operations. The 2026 IMPACT Edition marks a clear evolution in this approach: from introducing new concepts for validation to advancing demonstrated solutions towards commercial deployment and scale. Reflecting a more deliberate approach to scaling innovation, addressing a common challenge across corporate-startup collaboration: how to move from successful pilots to real-world implementation. To enable this, PepsiCo has introduced a more structured operating model via its IMPACT Framework, which brings together cross-functional teams earlier in the process, spanning sustainability, supply chain, procurement, R&D, and operations. Rather than working sequentially, these teams align upfront on business priorities, technical feasibility, and commercial pathways, identifying whether a solution works and whether it can be deployed within PepsiCo’s system to deliver measurable impact. By doing this, startups can reduce the friction that often slows their ability to expand.

Additionally, each solution is anchored to PepsiCo’s pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) agenda, ensuring progress is tied directly to business and sustainability priorities across agriculture, climate, and circularity.
