WFF Startup Innovation Awards invited applications from African agri-food startups

A global startup competition designed to support and highlight innovators and entrepreneurs using technology to drive the sustainable transformation of agri-food systems, the WFF Startup Innovation Awards are open to African agri-food startups.

The goal of the WFF Startup Innovation Awards, which are made possible by a strategic partnership with XTC, is to uplift the next wave of entrepreneurs who are developing novel ideas and technologies that will strengthen essential agri-food systems.

The top candidates will receive US $30,000 in prizes, as well as travel reimbursement to attend the main event in Rome, worldwide exposure, the opportunity to raise money and network with organizations around the world, and the opportunity to apply for WFF startup accelerator programs to expand their creative solutions and technological innovations.

The program begins in October, and applications are accepted until June 8.
