The AgriTech4Kenya Accelerator Program
Launched in July 2024, the AgriTech4Kenya Innovation Challenge, powered by the CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP), seeks to catalyze science-based early-stage solutions for Kenya’s agricultural sector. This initiative focuses on six priority areas, identified in collaboration with local and global partners, ensuring relevance and impact for smallholder farmers and agricultural value chains.
Following a rigorous selection process, 25 teams consisting of local and international participants were invited to join a 4-day bootcamp in Limuru, Kenya, last November. These innovators engaged with partners, explored Kenya’s agritech ecosystem, and refined their solutions through workshops, expert masterclasses, farm visit, and one-on-one mentoring sessions.
