It offers a virtual model, tailored to the needs of busy founders, and features group sessions, access to expert mentors, sector leaders, and investors. The program aims to identify bold entrepreneurs with scalable solutions, providing them with the tools, networks, and capital pathways they need to succeed.

Faris Yakob, the founder of Innovate47, a global venture-builder and support organization for entrepreneurs, emphasized the importance of addressing the climate crisis's effects on food systems. "Farmers, consumers, and communities worldwide are already experiencing these effects," he stated.

The Food & Agri Accelerator supports high-potential founders building solutions at the intersection of agriculture, food systems, and climate resilience. It brings together a diverse international cohort of founders, offering them a pathway to scale their ventures globally.

Innovate47 has a growing network of startups in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Applications for the Food & Agri Accelerator are open to founders worldwide. In addition to this program, Innovate47 offers programs across multiple regions, connecting founders to mentorship, networks, and capital.
