Applications are open for the UNDP Pan-African Incubation Programme for AgriTech Startups 2026. The programme supports technology-driven agri-tech startups in Africa by linking them with a pan-African incubation network, mentors, and access to resources to accelerate growth and investment readiness. Selected startups will receive structured incubation, mentorship, and participation in a continental network with opportunities for investor engagement and regional demo days.

Structured incubation programs delivered by leading African incubators; access to mentors, entrepreneurs and sector experts; participation in a pan-African network; access to the SIGMA digital platform; investment readiness support including pitch development and investor engagement; participation in demo days and ecosystem events across Africa; potential pathways to acceleration programs and early-stage investment opportunities.

Eligible startups must be based in Africa or building solutions targeting African agricultural markets, have a prototype or MVP, a committed founding team, and address a clearly defined agricultural challenge with potential for growth and scalability.

Applications are rolling with quarterly cohorts.
