We developed and implemented an initiative to support innovation and entrepreneurship within the agricultural sector by working with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), innovators, and business support organizations to strengthen the development and scaling of sustainable Agri-Tech solutions. The work focused on strengthening the connections between technology providers, market actors, and agricultural stakeholders to facilitate the adoption of solutions that enhance productivity while reducing environmental impacts.

Through targeted technical and advisory support, we worked closely with Agri-Tech innovators and SMEs to refine their products and services, strengthen their business models, and better align their solutions with market needs. Particular attention was given to technologies that improve resource efficiency, enhance water management, reduce environmental footprints, and contribute to more resilient agricultural production systems.

The initiative combined ecosystem engagement, capacity building, and technical advisory services. Activities included conducting needs assessments with SMEs and ecosystem actors, delivering training on sustainable and circular business models, providing advisory support for product and service development, and facilitating collaboration between technology developers, agricultural stakeholders, and innovation support organizations.

Through this work, we contributed to strengthening the agricultural innovation ecosystem and supporting the development of viable Agri-Tech solutions that address key challenges in sustainable agriculture, water efficiency, and climate resilience.
