At the core of the initiative is the AYuTe Challenge, a competition that identifies and enables young African entrepreneurs to develop and scale agtech solutions. Selected companies receive part of a $1.5 million catalytic grant, along with technical support to scale their solutions and expand their impact.

The AYuTe Africa NextGen is offering something new for African agriculture. We invite young agripreneurs to showcase their transformative innovations that are enhancing Africa’s food systems by driving transformative changes in smallholder farming and redefining agriculture as a promising and rewarding career.

And most importantly, you must prove you can empower smallholder farmers with solutions that enable them to increase their income and improve their livelihoods.

● Registered and operating in Sub-Saharan Africa

● Show your organization has a sustainable business model that will allow it to stay profitable as it expands operations to serve more smallholder farmers.
