Innovate47, a globally recognized venture builder and entrepreneur support organization, has officially launched its Food & Agri Accelerator, an intensive eight-week program aimed at empowering high-potential founders who are developing innovative solutions at the intersection of agriculture, food systems, and climate resilience.
With a mission to tackle some of the world’s most urgent challenges, Innovate47 operates across multiple regions, offering early-stage ventures access to mentorship, strategic networks, and capital. The organization has built a strong presence in the Global South, supporting a growing portfolio of startups from countries including Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
Building on this foundation, the newly launched accelerator will convene a diverse international cohort of entrepreneurs. Participants will benefit from tailored guidance from industry experts, direct connections to investors, and a structured pathway to scale their ventures globally.
“Food systems are at the frontlines of the climate crisis. Farmers, consumers, and communities worldwide are already experiencing the effects,” said Umair Sheikh, founder of Innovate47. “Through this programme, we aim to identify bold entrepreneurs with scalable solutions and give them the tools, networks, and capital pathways to make a real impact.”
The accelerator is designed to be founder-friendly, operating virtually to accommodate busy schedules. Over the course of eight weeks, participants will engage in collaborative group sessions, receive one-on-one mentorship from sector leaders, and gain exposure to potential investors.
Applications are now open to founders worldwide who are building startups in areas such as:
- Regenerative agriculture
- Agri-fintech
- Supply chain innovation
- Food security
- Climate-smart farming
Innovate47 invites visionary entrepreneurs committed to transforming food systems and enhancing climate resilience to apply and join a global movement of change-makers.
