University students in Central and West African countries are to submit solutions for final selection. The challenge runs across: environmentally friendly packaging solutions, quality agricultural produce, new routes to market and affordable nutrition.

Nestlé partnered with Kinaya Ventures to engage with local startups. The first edition took place in Ghana yesterday and subsequent editions will be launched in Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Senegal.
