    Kenya Agritech Startup Funding

    The future of sustainable agriculture in Kenya is getting a strong push from innovation, thanks to the newly launched Kenya Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program. This forward-thinking initiative is designed to support startups and entrepreneurs using technology to transform the agricultural landscape.

    The program is led by Joule, Eni School of Entrepreneurship, and E4Impact, and brings together expertise from entrepreneurship, agriculture, and tech sectors. Its goal is simple: empower local founders solving real agricultural challenges with scalable, tech-driven solutions.

     

    Who Should Apply?

     

    The program is split into two tracks:

    • Track 1 – Incubator: Open to entrepreneurs with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and some traction.
    • Track 2 – Accelerator: For legally registered, post-revenue businesses ready to scale.

    Applicants must be offering market-based solutions that address sustainable agriculture problems. Preference is given to businesses operating in Nairobi, Makueni, or Mombasa and their surrounding areas.

    Focus Areas

     

    Startups working in any of the following areas are encouraged to apply:

    • Precision Agriculture
    • Geo-location & Satellite Mapping
    • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
    • Big Data for Plant Analytics & Forecasting
    • Smart Irrigation Solutions
    • AI, Blockchain, IoT Agricultural Technologies
    • Supply Chain & Production Tech
    • Input Services (e.g. fertilisers, mechanisation)
    • Market Access Platforms (aggregation, e-commerce)
    • Agricultural Finance Solutions
    • Waste Management (recycling, upcycling, bio-waste energy)

    Why Join the Program?

     

    Selected participants will gain access to:

    • Customised training modules tailored to agribusiness needs
    • Networking opportunities with local and international partners
    • Potential collaboration with Eni
    • Expert services (legal, marketing, accounting)
    • Seed grant funding
    • One-on-one coaching and mentorship

    Deadline to Apply
