The AgriTech4Egypt Innovation Challenge is accepting applications from motivated scientists and entrepreneurs who are developing agri-tech solutions to make Egypt’s agricultural system more productive, efficient, and climate resilient.
With a focus on supporting early-stage agri-tech ventures in Egypt that have a proof of concept (POC) or minimum viable product (MVP), the AgriTech4Egypt Innovation Challenge aims to provide them with the necessary tools to develop a strong go-to-market strategy through market access and technical validation.
In priority areas like digital agriculture and precision farming, agri-finance solutions, sustainable value chain development, capacity-building tools, and effective irrigation water management, it is searching for agri-tech innovations.
A fully funded four-day immersive bootcamp, networking opportunities with agribusinesses and other partners, access to professional advice from CGIAR scientists and industry experts, and a sponsored six-month acceleration program are all available to selected ventures.
These resources will help them build the foundations of an agri-tech venture for scalable growth in Egypt.
Additionally, they will be eligible to earn an equity-free grant of up to EGP300,000 (US$6,500) from ASRT, test and validate their solution with end users for a maximum of six months, and gain exposure to investors and market prospects.
The accelerator course will run from June to October, with a demo day scheduled for November.
Applications are accepted until April 21.
