The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Pitch Competition, organised by the SUN Business Network, harnesses innovative solutions for improved nutrition by connecting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets with technical assistance and investment opportunities.
Nutrition is key to development, and key to food & agriculture businesses. An investment of $1 in nutrition can have a return of up to $16. The key is to work with companies to uncover that business case and develop nutritious food products that are affordable and accessible to low income consumers.

In addition, each finalist is assigned a mentor from the Bopinc team to provide individual support based on their needs.
