These initiatives aim to foster innovation and entrepreneurship among Ghanaian youth while addressing critical challenges within the agricultural value chain.

Participants showcased their innovative business ideas to a panel of esteemed judges, consisting of industry experts, investors, and seasoned entrepreneurs. The competition provided a platform for young entrepreneurs to transform their agricultural aspirations into tangible ventures, contributing to the sustainable development of northern Ghana’s agricultural sector.

The Executive Director of Kosmos Innovation Center, Mr. Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, Executive Director praised the dedication and hard work of all participants, coaches, and ideation teams, reaffirming KIC’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of agricultural leaders and change-makers.
Mr. Cecil Osei, Deputy Chief of Party at MSR, encouraged young people to seize the opportunities provided by the program, emphasizing MSR’s commitment to inclusive economic growth and market linkages for youth, women, and marginalized groups.

The MSR project aims to enhance commercial relationships between actors, strengthen the rural entrepreneurship ecosystem, expand agribusiness services availability, and improve local economic governance through targeted policy initiatives. Winners of the Pitch Competition will be awarded as well as gain access to KIC’s extensive network of partners and collaborators.
