ABOUT
Join Stellenbosch Network for this side-event to the South African Innovation Summit in Stellenbosch.
According to the world bank, 60% of uncultivated arable land is in Africa, and 70% of Africa's livelihoods are supported by agriculture.
Agritech in Africa has grown by an average of 44% each year since 2016! What is driving this boom in innovation in the world's youngest continent?
How do we take advantage of these opportunities as a continent? What is already being done? Join the conversation around how we are innovating in agriculture in Africa to secure our financial security and feed the world.
The panelists in this insightful discussion will be:
Gerard Martin, Executive Manager Winetech
Dr. Tara Southey, CEO TerraClim
Coenraad Fraenkel, Founding CEO of Agrimotion, Extension Manager at Citrus Research International
The conversation will be led by Brandon Paschal, Venture & Innovation Consultant
