Morgan Stanley today is hosting its annual global Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures (MSISV) Demo Day, with startups and nonprofits participating from across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The organizations will pitch over 300 investors, as well as potential business partners and customers.

Over the past five months, MSISV has supported 29 startups and four nonprofits through an intensive accelerator program, providing them with capital, a tailored curriculum, mentorship opportunities and business-growth resources from Morgan Stanley’s ecosystem of internal and external partners.

“With founders spanning 10 countries and 13 industries, our Morgan Stanley Inclusive & Sustainable Ventures cohort underscores the potential of innovators globally to bring disruptive solutions for business and society to market,” said Jessica Alsford, Morgan Stanley Chief Sustainability Officer. “We are eager to watch as these founders continue to scale with the backing of our Integrated Firm.”

The startups and nonprofits in the latest cohort are driving innovation in industries including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, energy, caregiving and human resources. Their solutions address a variety of business and societal challenges, such as workplace accessibility for low-vision employees, access to chronic medication dispensaries, robotic systems for waste management, and automated candidate screening and HR operations.

The organizations are: Airpals (US), Bump (US), BuuPass (Kenya), Care Hero (US), Caring Africa (Nigeria), Citera (Canada), CLIMADA Technologies (Switzerland), COUNT (US), Cytochroma (UK), Danu Robotics (UK), Envisionit Deep AI (UK), Fabrico (Bulgaria), FastVisa (US), Femly (US), Fitnescity Health (US), Hamperapp (US), InsideOut (UK), LightEd Impact Foundation (Nigeria), Mimicrete (UK), Moodbit (US), Motics (UK), Pelebox (South Africa), Pirta (US), Plan Your Baby (UK), ReBokeh (US), RightMatch AI (US), Rivet (US), S.Lab (Spain), Social Good Software (US), SolarAPP Foundation (US), Tuli Health (UK), Uvera (Saudi Arabia) and Zuri Health (UK).

In addition, applications for the next MSISV cohort of early-stage startups and nonprofits open today with a focus on impact in the areas of environment, healthcare, economic empowerment, education and human capital. Organizations can apply through March 31, 2026, with the cohort scheduled to launch later this year.
