In Central America, 30% of jobs and more than 30% of GDP depend on agriculture.
Despite this, leadership and support for entrepreneurship and agricultural innovation is limited:
lack of technology
Central America is one of the most susceptible regions in the world to climate change; and the lack of agricultural technology does not allow them to be prepared to mitigate the damage.
Lower productivity
The small producers productivity level is declining, compared to local and international producers who have access to markets and production technologies.
negative environment
There is no suitable environment for entrepreneurs to develop commercially viable solutions to these challenges.
AgTech is the first program in the region that develops a network of knowledge, key people and investment; making easier the interaction with enterprises in different stages.
We have developed a much deeper understanding of the industry, which we share with members of our community.
By focusing on a specific geographic sector, the opportunities for collaboration and synergies between our community are greater compared to similar programs.
Our mentors, investors, and advisors network have industry knowledge, adding further value to our program.
