"The Radicle Corn Value Chain Challenge sponsored by US Corn Farmers" sets out to invest a minimum of US $1.5M in start-up and growth companies from around the globe whose innovative technologies and business models create new uses for corn and long-term sustainable demand for corn production.

We aim to unlock additional value from America's innovative corn growers by exploring the diverse potential of the corn crop. With a focus on enhancing the bio economy, food production, biomaterials, and sustainable biofuels, we seek novel bioproducts derived from corn as a feedstock. We are also interested in significant contributions to minimizing corn production's environmental footprint and overall carbon intensity. If you're involved in developing methods to enhance corn production sustainability, we encourage you to apply.
