CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
This is a global competition, meaning you are competing against tech startups from around the world, making it highly competitive.
The prize is recognition and access to a global platform rather than direct cash funding, which may reduce applicant volume but also limits the tangible upside. Exact winner numbers are not disclosed in available sources.
WHAT IT TAKES
Check eligibility and confirm the next cycle has opened on KPMG's site — 30 minutes
Prepare and submit your application or pitch materials — 1–2 weeks
Compete in regional rounds before advancing to the global stage — Weeks to months depending on round schedule
WORTH KNOWING
The prize is described as recognition plus global platform access — not direct cash — so this is best pursued as a visibility and credibility play, particularly useful for startups seeking international investor exposure.
