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.

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