Venture-Out Events featuring Kuza One and Piatrika Biosystems

Join us on Thursday, July 13th at 11:00 CEST for an interactive discussion with CGIAR experts on how digital agriculture startups are revolutionizing the resilience of smallholder farmers.
Digital Agriculture startups are revolutionizing the resilience of smallholders and bridging the gap between the scientific community and farmers. What can the success stories of Kuza One, a framework of private sector frontline extension networks engaging rural youth as agripreneurs, and Piatrika Biosystems, an integrated enterprise decision-support system where scientific and farming communities can harness information, teach us about an innovation’s journey from lab to market? Tune in to Venture-Out Events on Thursday 13 July at 11:00 CEST for an interactive discussion with CGIAR experts to explore this and more.
Venture-Out Events are a series of interactive webinars organized by the Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP): a venture space that builds on CGIAR’s legacy of Research and Innovation to co-design, accelerate and fund science-based innovations to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges at the nexus of agriculture, environment, and health. Guests from the innovation ecosystem including leading startups, ventures, and tech transfer experts showcase their success stories of bridging research ideas from lab to market. Venture-Out aims to encourage learning and connection amongst innovators, highlight synergies and pathways for value creation with CGIAR research, and further inspire the entrepreneurial mindset and market-oriented approach among CGIAR’s scientists.
