Ten (10) Agribusiness Startups selected to participate in Agritech Investment Readiness Accelerator Program
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Accra, Ghana, November 16, 2020 – Following a four-phase rigorous and competitive selection process, 10 dynamic and innovative Agritech startups have been selected to partake in the Agritech Investment Readiness Accelerator Program. The program is being hosted by Innohub in partnership with the Tech Entrepreneurship Initiative, ‘Make-IT in Africa’, (implemented by Deutsche für Gesellschaft Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, Wangara Green Ventures, ABSA Bank Plc and Accra Angels Network.

Many startups appear to have strong growth potential but will inevitably reach a point where future growth requires external funding. A great fraction of these startups are unable to raise money from investors because they are not investor ready and lack the capacity to appeal to investors.
