AgTechUCD has announced the participants for this year’s accelerator programme. The intensive 12-week hybrid programme is aimed at addressing particular needs and challenges facing ag tech and agri food start-ups. In order to fast-track the participant’s business development and leadership skills, they get support and guidance.
This includes business development workshops and investor readiness training, mentoring from experts and business advisers, guest speakers and facilitated introductions to AgTechUCD’s venture capital and business angel networks.
According to Gary Ryan, director, AgTechUCD, the programme aims to develop the companies’ ag and food tech- related businesses with national and international potential.
“The focus on solutions delivering improved sustainability, efficiency and profitability in the ag food value chain is welcome and is very much in line with the overall focus of AgTechUCD.
"We will also be working with this year’s cohort, to help them to increase their profile, attract customers and investors, and forge partnerships,” says Gary.
