Unlocking the power of digital innovation
Digital technologies such as hyperlocal weather forecasting, mobile finance, supply chain management and traceability solutions are increasingly transforming agri-food value chains in Africa. They enable farmers and other actors to produce more, better and safer food while preserving natural resources and biodiversity.
Under 2SCALE, one of Africa’s largest agribusiness incubators and accelerators we invited entrepreneurs, startups and SMEs with digital innovations to apply to our innovation challenge. Together we will scale their innovation in the 2SCALE agribusiness partnerships.
