The World Bank AgriTech Challenge, powered by Nest, is the region’s first open innovation programme focused on agribusiness.

We’re calling everyone from trailblazing startups and industry veterans to visionary teams from universities to apply*. This is your opportunity to build an actionable solution that could transform agriculture in Kenya!

Facilitated by the World Bank and Nest, selected teams will work closely with one of the region’s leading agribusiness companies to conceptualize, co-develop and prototype a product to alleviate acute challenges in the Kenyan agribusiness value chain.

* Note: The programme is open only to Kenya-based teams

Applications close July 25, 2017. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so the sooner you submit the better!
