Applications for the pan-African Innov8Agric Challenge are open in a bid to promote innovative solutions in the agri-tech space.
This initiative has been spearheaded by Crenov8 Consulting, the management consulting firm hosting the 3rd annual Meet The Farmers Conference (MTFC) in Dubai in November.
The challenge is open to any early stage agri-tech startup from Africa which is developing innovative solutions to improve the agricultural value chain in any sector of the agriculture ecosystem.
The winners of Innov8Agric will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai to participate in and exhibit at the MTFC event. They also get to pitch their solution at the grand final for the top prize of US$5,000, as well as follow-on funding and investment opportunities. They will also be provided access to a pool of investors and potential customers at the conference.
