4YFN (4 Years From Now) is GSMA’s startup-focused program based in Barcelona that runs global startup competitions and ecosystem partnerships to surface and accelerate digital and mobile-first innovation. It awards cash prizes, exhibition space, mentorship and industry connections across sectoral tracks such as HealthTech, FinTech, Climate/Green Tech, Mobile/Telecom and next‑generation internet projects, prioritizing startups with demonstrable product-market fit and potential for SDG-aligned impact. 4YFN operates primarily through time-bound award cycles and partner programs (e.g., GSMA Foundry, NGI Sargasso) rather than open multi-year grants.
Competitive, program-based awards and ecosystem support: cash prizes (typical awards range ~$1,500–$21,600), exhibition space and event access, mentoring and partner-backed equity-free funding. Awards are seasonal/annual with fixed application windows and administered via 4YFN/GSMA application portals and partner calls.
