“The AgriNation Startup Cup is showing how young people in Bahrain and across the region are finding ways to produce more food with fewer resources, capture more value locally through downstream agrifood products and services, and promote more healthy, safe, and environmentally sustainable consumption. This is all while safeguarding the livelihoods of small producers, including women and vulnerable groups, and creating more decent jobs in rural areas.” said a Unido ITPO representative.
The competition is open to entrepreneurs aged 35 and under, with early-stage start-ups in the field of agrifood and rural development. The 10 winning start-ups will benefit from a customized incubation and mentoring program including support for product testing and market research as well as linkages to new market opportunities, partnerships, and funding sources.
