We are building the global gateway to the innovation ecosystem for the next wave of agribusiness pioneers.

What is the GRAFT Challenge?

GRAFT is a first-of-its-kind ‘land and launch’ program focused on scaling AgTech solutions to solve the most pressing agrifood challenges as posed by industry leaders themselves.

We help agribusinesses and industry to look 'beyond their backyard', building a curated pipeline of innovation partners from across the globe.

We help start-ups to land on their feet and keep running in new markets, providing both strategic and 'boots-on-ground' support to stand up real commercial partnerships.

How is GRAFT different
to other programs?

We bring laser-focus on standing up commercial trials & relationships

We leverage a tried-and-tested open innovation process to define & tackle meaningful challenges

We combine the breadth of global partnerships & networks with deep
in-market expertise

We take an ‘ecosystem approach’ to build
a growing community of challenge owners, industry experts, technology transfer practitioners, and technology leaders to collaborate on industry challenges year after year.

We invest heavily, with ‘boots on ground’, on developing an in-depth understanding of industry challenges - in partnership with the organisations that are dealing with them directly

GRAFT matches AgriTech change-makers with agribusiness corporations and gives them the support they need to scale.
