We were honored to have partnered with PepsiCo Greenhouse Accelerator APAC (GHAC) for the launch of their 2025 cohort in Shanghai on April 2, 2025. The event brought together 10 exciting startups across China, Australia, Korea, Singapore and Indonesia—driving innovation in sustainable packaging, climate resilience, and future-fit agriculture.

Over the next five months, these startups will work closely with PepsiCo leaders and partners—gaining industry expertise, refining business models, and piloting solutions in real-world operational environments—a critical step for scaling impact.

At CM Venture Capital, our mission is to accelerate scalable, real-world impact—and GHAC exemplifies this perfectly. The program’s unique model embeds startup technologies directly into PepsiCo’s operations, helping founders refine their solutions at speed. We saw this firsthand with our portfolio company Enwise, whose biogas systems now turn potato waste into energy at two PepsiCo factories, a testament to the power of corporate-startup collaboration.

A heartfelt thank you to PepsiCo’s team for their incredible hospitality. We’re inspired by the progress made and wish you another successful run of the programme.
